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 investigatorโs quest to make the world a better placeโฆsolving 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 Andreโs last known address, they discover signs of a struggle and a lifestyle not in keeping with the former choirboy they fondly remember.
Dannyโs sister, Isabelle, reluctantly accepts their help. She and Nate arenโt 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 Dannyโs alarming disappearance and his troubled relationship with Isabelle, Nate also has to rein in his favorite cousinโs 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.
