DEAR SISTER DEAD

Dark secrets. An even darker death.

Vera Kincaid had it all—brains, beauty, and the devotion of a wealthy husband, the leader of one of Harlem’s most powerful churches. But even the best lives cast dark shadows. I’m Lanie Price, a society reporter with a nose for trouble, and Vera was more than a headline to me. She was a dear friend, and her death cut deep.

When Vera’s body turned up, whispers of forbidden love and deadly secrets began to swirl. Determined to find the truth, I plunged into the heart of Harlem’s Strivers’ Row, where elegance masks deceit and trust is a dangerous gamble. Unraveling Vera’s life, I stumbled upon a tale of illicit passion and fatal consequences.

My pursuit of answers pulled me into a web of deception that stretched from the pulpit to the back alleys, revealing the hidden desperation behind Vera’s polished facade. Every layer I peeled back brought me closer to a shocking revelation—one that would shake everything I thought I knew about her and the world she lived in.

Set against the sultry backdrop of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, "Dead Sister Dead" is a gripping noir thriller that explores the tangled complexities of love, betrayal, and the high cost of living a double life.
