Description
Twenty-one-year-old Nika Lukina is a foreign exchange student in London. She’s bright and bubbly and has everything all figured out… or at least she’s faking it really well. Nika has a secret. When she was thirteen, her beloved older sister Jenya went missing in a small town in the Midlands. The only thing that Nika has left of Jen is her collection of iconic indie rock albums. Those bands shaped Nika’s personality and her perception of beauty, love, life, and her own self.
She tries not to think about what happened until one day, just before the Easter break at unit, the past catches up with her in a terribly gruesome way, leaving Nika no choice but to find out what really happened to her sister. Nika posts a blurred video from Glastonbury’07 on her Facebook page in hope that someone might recognize her sister’s face. After she receives a quick response from a woman who claims to have been Jen’s best friend, Nika takes a train to Notown, the town where her sister lived.
With its abandoned factory buildings turned into lofts, dusty for sale signs on display, and a growing sense of desperation in the air, Notown is a disturbing place to be. The only valuable thing that Nika gains from the meeting with her sister’s friend is a shoebox full of Jen’s stuff, with an old iPod, among other things. Nika is about to leave the town for good when she receives another message from someone who knew her sister. Nika decides to stay for just one night and rents a room above the old live music pub where her sister worked as a bartender the more people she meets and the more questions she asks, the clearer the image of her sister becomes. And Jen wasn’t the person Nika always thought her to be.
Jen used to hang out with a local indie rock band called the Red Room. In fact, she dated the lead singer, a sweet and tender hooligan named Chris. A local legend, Chris was meant to become the next Jagger, but he fell out with his best friend, the songwriter and lead guitarist Marc, and quit the band on the same night that Jen went missing.
Nika soon realizes that the band’s history is deeply entangled with her sister’s disappearance and the only way to discover the truth would be to break into the upcoming Glastonbury Festival, which the Red Room are headlining.
Haunted by the songs on Jen’s iPod and the ghosts of the ‘good old days’ that everyone in Notown seems to be reminiscing about, Nika sets off on a journey that is far more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.
Written as a sequence of Facebook messages that the protagonist exchanges with her sister, the investigation propels itself through the stagnant streets of the suburban Midlands to the heart of England’s brazen modern rock-n-roll scene. With her hope for a reply vanishing, Nika keeps telling her missing sibling about the course of the investigation, the people she meets, and the songs she listens to along the way.
