No one knows why the queen of indie rock vanished from the Detroit scene more than twenty years ago. When her ex sets out to find her, the truth will rock both their worlds. No one knows why the queen of indie rock vanished from the Detroit scene twenty years ago. Now, her ex-girlfriend is determined to track her down-and what she uncovers will change everything. "A heartfelt, rocking love letter to Detroit's legendary indie music scene, celebrating second chances and the enduring pull of the past."-Georgia Clark, author of Most Wonderful After all this time, can love still strike a chord? Detroit, 1997. At the Artemis Club, Paloma is chasing rock-and-roll stardom, with her girlfriend and manager Jace committed to making her a worldwide indie sensation. But when Paloma suddenly disappears from the public eye in 2001, Jace is left to pick up the pieces. Two decades later, Jace learns The Artemis Club is in trouble. Saving it will mean tracking down Paloma, whose early-career hit just went viral. Paloma has her reasons for not wanting to be found, and Jace isn't eager to reopen old wounds. Still, each keeps measuring her life against the love she lost. With the Artemis Club's fate at stake, Jace and Paloma are pulled back into the scene they once ruled . . . and back toward each other. Told in two voices, this sapphic salute to Detroit's garage-band era shows that sometimes the truth is the most powerful love song of all.
