The Cover Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781958231814)

On most days for homeless man Malachi, invisibility comes his way unwanted, unsought. Today, he's counting on it.

College student Charlie regains consciousness with her friend Janie Rose's dying screams ringing in her ears. Charlie insists she was forced off the road by an old-fashioned hearse. But the police think their wreck was simply an accident.

Reporter Branigan Powers suspects that her niece Charlie may still be in danger. So when an abandoned hearse is found in Grambling's Tent City, she teams up once more with her homeless friend Malachi to investigate. They track the vehicle to a local university.

As Branigan and Malachi explore the sometimes-bewildering Old South world of sororities and fraternities, more violence erupts. The trail of destruction grows, and the murderer always seems to be one step ahead. But like most people, the killer doesn't see Malachi coming.
