Venus Thibodeaux had a reputation for being trouble. Some said she
started at birth. When she finally left Sinful shortly after turning 18,
everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When she blew back into town four
years later, no one was happy about her return. She immediately launched
into her same old scams, picking off Sinful residents with ease before
disappearing again as quickly as she'd appeared.
Everyone assumed she'd headed back to New Orleans.
But when an accident at the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Run uncovers her
body, everyone Venus took for a ride becomes a suspect. The man at the
top of that list sees the writing on the wall and hires Fortune to
figure out who killed Venus, before he goes to prison for a murder he
didn't commit. Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie start poking around into
Venus' complicated life, hoping to find the killer. And to solve their
first official case.
