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.
WHAT HAPPENED ON BEALE STREET is an exciting
addition to
the Secrets of the South Mysteries from bestselling
author Mary Ellis. These standalone, complex crime dramas
follow a private investigator’s quest to make the world a
better place…solving one case at a time.
A cryptic plea for help from a childhood friend sends
cousins Nate and Nicki Price from New Orleans to Memphis,
the home of scrumptious barbecue and soulful blues music.
When they arrive at Danny Andre’s last known address,
they discover signs of a struggle and a lifestyle not in
keeping with the former choirboy they fondly remember.
Danny’s sister, Isabelle, reluctantly accepts their help.
She and Nate aren’t on the best of terms due to a
complicated past, yet they will have to get beyond that
if they want to save Danny.
On top of Danny’s alarming disappearance and his troubled
relationship with Isabelle, Nate also has to rein in his
favorite cousin’s overzealousness as a new and eager PI.
Confronted with a possible murder, mystery, and mayhem in
the land of the Delta blues, Nate must rely on his faith
and investigative experience to keep one or more of them
from getting killed.
