Aspiring author Dr. Myaisha Douglas joined the Greensboro Women of Color Writing Group hoping to publish her writing, and never expecting to play amateur sleuth in a real-life murder mystery.

When someone murders a friend and member of the group, Myaisha believes she can help the police solve the crime. An avid mystery fan, she relies on the skills she gained from those stories to catch the killer.

Though determined to get justice for her friend, the amateur detective soon regrets her involvement when the deceased's corruption and illegal dealings become public. The police warn Myaisha to stop investigating when their prime suspect is also murdered.

Drawn back into the case after the police charge another member of the group with murder, Myaisha uses her medical knowledge—and years as an armchair detective—to solve the homicide.
