![]() ![]() Hailed as one of the best ethnic and female sleuthing mystery series, Valerie Wilson Wesley’s Tamara Hayle novels are consistent standouts. Tamara Hayle goes undercover in the casinos of Atlantic City to track a runaway teen in this gripping new mystery. And the more truth Tamara seeks, the more of Magic’s lies she uncovers, until she faces a brutal killer hell-bent upon taking a cruel revenge and destroying everyone that stands in the way. There is her oldest friend, bad-tempered Pauline Reese, who won’t let anyone, least of all Mandy Magic, forget where she came from, and her adopted daughter, Taniqua, whose young, haunted eyes have seen more of life’s evil than anyone should. There’s Rufus Greene, a former pimp with a mysterious and persistent hold on her and Kenton Daniels, III, the nasty, wastrel son of a prominent Newark family. ![]() But as Tamara soon discovers, Mandy is a woman of secrets and half-truths with more shady characters in her past and present than she cares to admit. When a threatening note and repeated acts of vandalism make her fear for her safety and cast doubt on the recent, apparently robbery-related death of her stylist, Magic enlists the aid of Newark P. But she is stalked by a past that won’t let her go. Born Starmanda Jackson and raised in the projects of Newark, Magic has literally talked her way out of poverty. Popular, well-respected radio talk-show host Mandy Magic seems to have it all and then some. ![]()
