Saturday's Sweet Sorrow

By Richard Ward

Saturday's Sweet Sorrow

A supernatural crime thriller set in New Orleans-where Vodou, vengeance, and the dead walk hand in hand.

When Acting District Attorney Diana "Sweet" Sorrow is brutally murdered, her killers believe they've silenced the only woman willing to take down the Crimson Kings-New Orleans' most dangerous crime family. But death isn't the end.

In the crossroads between life and afterlife, Sweet is claimed by Baron Samedi, the Vodou Lord of the Dead. Reborn with bone-white skin, a violet suit, and fire burning in her eye, she returns as Sweet Sorrow-a revenant with unfinished business.

With her mother, Momma Sorrow, a Voodoo priestess who commands spirits, and her lover Cleo Jones, a rebellious musician caught between loyalty and fear, Sweet launches a war across the city. Courtrooms turn into battlegrounds. Cemeteries whisper secrets. Every shadowed alley hides enemies-or allies.

Saturday's Sweet Sorrow blends supernatural horror, urban noir, and Southern Gothic crime fiction. It's a story of revenge, queer love, Vodou mysticism, and political corruption, steeped in the haunted soul of New Orleans.

Fans of Anne Rice, Jim Butcher, and Neil Gaiman will find themselves at home in this world of jazz, blood, and restless spirits
