Murder In Hot Coffee is a mystery only the reader can solve. Travel to the 1930's Deep South where moonshine, Angel's Trumpets, death, and a black elixir abound. This novelette is a prequel to Ghosts of the Leaf River-the second novel of the Spacek and Toussaint Mysteries which are currently being written by author. The mystery series are historical fiction novels involving two journalists who investigate urban legends. Anthony Spacek and Amelie Toussaint will encounter yet another mystery in south Mississippi based on the more mature characters from the prequel novelette Murder In Hot Coffee; the Free State of Jones (a historical secession of neither Union nor Confederacy during the Civil War) and an enigmatic American opera singer of color will evolve from main character Denia Andersen's past. The series starts with its major setting in 1970's south Louisiana north of New Orleans around Lake Pontchartrain. The story of the Creoles, Choctaws, and an unsolved grisly murder from the 1920's are detailed around the mossy bayous and cemeteries of the region. Murder In Hot Coffee is a taste of what is to come as all is tied together in the connecting stories."
