Nancy Drew meets P-Valley as an Atlanta reporter investigates the gruesome ritualistic murder of a dancer at the female-owned strip club where she herself worked years before. Acclaimed author L. Divine makes her adult debut in this thrilling, sexy new series for fans of My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, Kirstin Chen's Counterfeit, and All Her Little Secrets by Wanda M. Morris.

When Keke starts looking into secretive stripper Monaka's grisly death, she's instantly caught between her past and her present. Through The Honey Pot club owner ""Honey Mama"" Thiboudeaux, Keke found refuge from the streets, earned much money from her stage persona ""Brandy,"" and got a chance at a new life all her own. Her bombshell expose about the club launched her reporting career. But it caused a bitter, seemingly irrevocable split between her, the only family she's ever known-and Drew, the one man Keke won't admit she's never gotten over . . .

At Honey Mama request's, Keke goes undercover as Brandy to find the truth before political pressures shut the progressive club down for good. But Keke has to watch more than her back when she finds Monaka had an unshakable, dangerously elusive stalker, an illicit club sideline-and vicious conflicts with rival dancers. Even more explosive, Keke's persistence is putting her at odds with Drew, now a police detective working this case . . . and the secrets she herself can no longer hide.

Now with the clock fast ticking down, Keke must tantalize the killer with the one lure he-or she-can't resist. But using fantasy as a trap could put more than her pursuit of justice on the line--it risks ending her career and life for good . . .

Reviews for An Epitaph for Jezebel

Praise for An Epitaph for Jezebel “A compulsively readable murder mystery. Forget titillation: Divine is writing on the fault lines of social justice, race, sex workers and law enforcement, and it makes for an edgy, pacy read.” —Amazon Book Review
