She sees the patterns no one else will admit. She keeps the records no one else dares to write. In a city that would rather forget its missing girls, Roxie Williams refuses to disappear.

Atlanta’s streets hum with secrets, and Roxie knows them all too well. Armed with a battered notebook, a sharp mind, and a promise she can’t break, she hunts for the truth behind the “Vanishing Girls”—a string of disappearances the city would rather ignore. But the closer Roxie gets to the heart of the case, the more dangerous her world becomes. Cops who can’t be trusted. Friends who vanish without a trace. A system greased with silence and fear.

Her only sanctuary is Queen’s Crown Salon, where women gather to braid hair, share stories, and watch each other’s backs. Here, Roxie finds allies—Quanda’s wisdom, Bee’s courage, Mama Esther’s fierce love—but trust is a luxury she can’t afford. As the chain tightens and the shadows close in, Roxie must decide how much she’s willing to risk to make the city see what it wants to forget.

Inspired by true crime cases and the acclaimed No Tears For Black Girls podcast, The Girl Who Knew Too Much is a gripping, unflinching novella about survival, sisterhood, and the cost of refusing to stay silent. For fans of gritty crime fiction, social justice thrillers, and stories where Black women’s voices take center stage.
