The Queen City Detective Agency (2024)
A novel by Snowden Wright

Following an unforgettable cast of characters and a jaded female P.I. enmeshed in a criminal conspiracy in 1980s Mississippi, The Queen City Detective Agency is a riveting, razor-sharp Southern noir that unravels the greed, corruption, and racism at the heart of the American Dream.

Meridian, Mississippi¡ªonce known as the Queen City for its status in the state¡ªhas lost much of its royal bearing by 1985. Overshadowed by more prosperous cities such as New Orleans and Atlanta, Meridian attracts less-than-legitimate businesses, including those enforced by the near-mythical Dixie Mafia. The city¡¯s powerbrokers, wealthy white Southerners clinging to their privilege, resent any attempt at change to the old order.

Real-estate developer Randall Hubbard took advantage of Meridian¡¯s economic decline by opening strip malls that catered to low-income families in Black neighborhoods¡ªuntil he wound up at the business end of a .38 Special. Then a Dixie Mafia affiliate named Lewis ¡°Turnip¡± Coogan, who claims Hubbard¡¯s wife hired him for the hit, dies under suspicious circumstances while in custody for the murder.
