Memphis Morning

By Tom Clatterbuck

In the wake of Ace Jefferson's downfall, Memphis dares to breathe again until a spiked dove's wing is nailed to the door of the National Civil Rights Museum and the single word 'SILENCE' is written in blood-red paint.

Now Lead Detective Sarah Mitchell must hunt a far deadlier breed of predator: not loud gangsters, but the silent architects who traffic in money, law, and legacy. A New York developer wants to bulldoze the city's soul for glass towers. An old Beale Street enforcer enforces with whispers instead of guns. A brilliant laundress turns dirty millions into civic virtue. And at the center of it all, a ghost trust funded by Ace himself paid for the murder of the mayor and is about to install its puppet in his place.

To save the heart of Memphis, Sarah will have to break every rule she ever swore to uphold, stage a heist in a blackout while Ruby "Wildfire" Johnson resurrects the blues on a flatbed truck, swap evidence on a midnight river road, and face the devastating truth that the man who taught her everything may be the final, untouchable kingpin.

Some cities are saved by heroes.

Memphis will be saved by reckoning.
