MIDNIGHT ON THE MISSISSIPPI begins the new
Secrets of the South Mysteries from bestselling
author Mary Ellis. These complex crime dramas follow an
investigator's quest to make the world a better
place...solving one case at a time.
New Orleans--
Hunter Galen, a stock and securities broker, suspects his
business partner, James Nowak, may be involved in
embezzling their clients' money, but he's reluctant to
jeopardize their friendship based on suspicion alone.
After James turns up dead, Hunter realizes his
unwillingness to confront a problem may have cost James
his life.
Nicki Price, a newly minted PI, intends
to solve the stockbroker's murder, recover the missing
millions from the client accounts, and establish herself
in the career she adores. As she ferrets out fraud and
deception at Galen Investments, Hunter's fiancee, Ashley
Menard, rubs Nicki the wrong way. Nicki doesn't trust the
ostentatious woman with an agenda longer than the
Mississippi River. Ashley seems to be hiding something,
but is Nicki's growing attraction to Hunter--a suspected
murderer--her true reason for disliking Ashley?
As they encounter sophisticated shell games, blackmail,
and murder, Nicki and Hunter's only option is to turn to
God as they search for answers, elude lethal danger, and
perhaps discover love along the way.
