Desenterrando a Kane

by Susan Lynn Solomon

Libby Bridgeman, corresponsal del Village Voice, se muestra reacia cuando Max Howard, su editor, insiste en que entreviste a Alicia Kane. Aunque fue una rebelde universitaria, una superestrella del rock y un icono en los años setenta, no se ha sabido nada de Kane en cuarenta años. Un caso judicial de Brooklyn relacionado con una protesta de Black Lives Matter parece mucho más relevante. Pero no se le dice que no a Max Howard.
Mientras escribe el artículo sobre la entrevista tras conocer a Kane, Libby recibe una llamada de un Alicia Kane ha muerto. Accidente o suicidio, le dice el detective, pero Libby cree que fue asesinada. Cuando Max insiste en que abandone la historia, está segura de que él sabe más de lo que le dice.
En Greenwich Village, Chicago, las Cataratas del Niágara y un estudio de grabación de Manhattan, Libby entrevista a personas que habían conocido a Kane. Al igual que Max, cada una parece ocultar algo. ¿Una conexión con su familia? Entonces, una noche tumultuosa descubre la historia completa de Alicia Kane, y esto trastoca su mundo por completo.
