Mystery in Harare

Priscilla's Journey into Southern Africa

Beschreibung

Mystery in Harare is the second installment in the Priscilla trilogy-turned-series. The bride pauses for an instant before walking down the aisle to marry a man she likes but does not love, and in that hesitant moment, a shot rings out, and then another. The groom falls. Blood stains the sanctuary. Priscilla J. "PJ" Austin, a magnetic, up-and-coming baby boomer, catches a glimpse of the shooter before everything blacks out for the bride... Set in the mid1980s, Mystery in Harare Priscilla's Journey into Southern Africa is a stylish, fast-paced, character-driven thriller that unravels the secrets behind this carnage at a Midwestern American Black church. Along the way, there is mayhem, murder, mistaken identities, and a barbed reunion with a swarthy, intrepid, special operative, who may be her one true love. Priscilla has little choice but to learn how to fend for herself in places and ways she never imagined. For sure, she never envisioned herself on the run from assassins in early post-apartheid Zimbabwe and apartheid-ruled South Africa.

Autor

Indie author M. J. Simms-Maddox, Ph.D., created 'The Priscilla Series,' a unique collection chronicling the coming-of-age journey and adventures of a modern-day, self-assured Black American woman of diverse ancestry. The South Carolina native grew up in the Snowbelt of western New York. Her academic credentials include a Doctor of Philosophy degree in political science from The Ohio State University. She has served as a legislative aide in the Ohio Senate, operated a PR firm, and taught political science. Consequently, many plots in the novel series revolve around politics.The author is self-taught; she did not study creative writing in college. She began writing fiction in the late 1990s, inspired by a recurring dream of a conversation with her father. She believed she was finished after publishing her first novel, Priscilla Engaging in the Game of Politics. However, much more came forth after that.
