Harper McKenzie wakes to the worse possible day: her 18-year-old son has vanished from her Manhattan apartment without trace. Worse, no-one knows what she’s talking about. No-one thinks she had a son. Ever. Has she lost her grip on reality? Or has the world shifted in a terrifying and unpredictable way? The Effect is a taut psychological thriller that challenges everything we thought was real, as Harper’s quest to find her son pushes her to the very edge of reason.

This book begins by asking the listener if they can write a Black character. It then asks the listener questions about their knowledge and understanding of race and racism. Exploring the popular representation of law and order, healthcare and celebrity in the entertainment industry, and comparing this with the reality of these institutions throughout history and today, Lubimbi opens up the discussion and offers solutions to problems surrounding race, representation, and stereotyping.
