Winner of Edgar Honor for Best First Novel for Bent Street, Lori Roy earnings with Until She Comes Home, an account of spellbinding suspense where murder crumbles the facade of any changing Detroit area. In 1958 Detroit, neighborhood friends on Alder Avenue struggle to care for one another amid a city rife with conflicts that threaten their peaceful block. Elegance, Alder's only pregnant woman, eagerly awaits her firstborn; her best friend, Julia, prepares to welcome twin nieces; and Malina packages the shade with her stylish dresses, tasteful home, and ironfisted stewardship of St. Alban's bake sale. Life erupts when childlike Elizabeth disappears while in the care of Elegance and Julia. All the ladies fear that the recent murder of any black woman at the manufacturer on Willingham Avenue where their husbands work may portend what has become of Elizabeth. In addition they fear what will become of Julia - the last person to see Elizabeth alive. The men install an around-the-clock search, going out of their families vulnerable to sinister elements covered in plain sight. Only Grace is aware what occurred, but her mother warns her not to notify. "No man would like to know this about his partner." Ashamed that her silence puts loved ones in harm's way, Elegance gravitates toward the ladies of Willingham Avenue, who acknowledge her fighting as their own. Through their acceptance, Elegance conquers her fear and dares to do something. On Alder Avenue, vicious secrets bind friends, neighborhood friends, and spouses. For the wicked among them, the walk home will be long.
