The Queen City Detective Agency

by Snowden Wright

Snowden Wright's The Queen City Detective Agency drops a jaded ex-cop turned private investigator into 1985 Meridian, Mississippi, where a real-estate developer's murder and a Dixie Mafia affiliate's suspicious jailhouse death pull her into a web of old-guard corruption — a Southern noir that earns its atmosphere through moral specificity rather than regional sentiment.
