Our Missing Colored Girls

The City of East Orange has the same problem a lot of other towns have: black
women are disappearing. Despite the frequency of these abductions, no one is
sounding any alarms. Missing black women aren't considered important enough to
be considered a priority in most precincts.

There's one thing East Orange has that other precincts don't: Rookie Officer Kora
Merrit. She's only been on the force a handful of weeks, but she has already made it
her personal mission to stop the mass abductions that are happening in her city.
She's young, damaged, and wears her emotions on her sleeve. Kora never met her
father, and doesn't know who her mother is. A childhood of foster homes and
broken promises hardened her, and Kora is one tough cop. Can she make her way
through the sexism, racism, and other biases that she will face everyday in the old
boys club, as she searches for answers to questions most other officers don't even
care about? What will happen when she finds out just how deep the rabbit hole
goes, and how high up the food chain it ends? Can Kora shrug off her own demons
and keep the walls from closing in long enough to solve a mystery no one seems to
want her to solve? You'll have to read Our Missing Colored Girls to find out!
