DEAR SISTER DEAD

Dark secrets. An even darker death.

Vera Kincaid had everything to live for. The wife of a wealthy preacher man, she was smart, beautiful, and popular. But lovely wives often have dark secrets. Vera was no exception.

Society reporter Lanie Price investigates the death of a woman she held dear and finds out that, for Vera, forbidden love had deadly consequences.

Set against the 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.
