Your House Will Pay (2019) is Steph Cha’s departure from the Juniper Song mystery series and her most acclaimed work. The novel draws on the real 1991 killing of Latasha Harlins by a Korean American store owner, weaving that history into a fictional story about two families forced to reckon with the past.

The book earned Cha the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Mystery/Thriller and placed her among the most talked-about crime fiction writers of the year. It differs from the Juniper Song books in tone and ambition, trading genre mystery for a broader examination of race, community, and inherited guilt in Los Angeles.
