PAPER GODS A Novel of Money, Race, and Politics

Narrator Bahni Turpin strikes the right note of irony and humor in this murder mystery set in Atlanta. Mayor Victoria Overstreet, who is half of a power couple and the mother of twins, has it all. But even she might have bit off more than she can chew when investigating the murder of her friend, a congressman. Turpin delivers the sarcastic and the sensitive at a rapid pace that mimics life in one of the Southeast's biggest cities. She infuses the characters with a brassiness that will make listeners laugh even as the chills climb up their spines. This is a fun romp through a metropolis that is not often center stage in books or movies with a narrator who makes the most of the unique setting.
