Charlene “Charlie” Mack is a PI in Detroit, born and raised in the city that America forgot.
Charlie has built a highly respected private investigations firm through hard work, smart choices, and relentless ambition. Her team of investigators are highly skilled and trustworthy—but she secretly struggles with her sexual orientation and a mother with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
When Charlie and her crack team head to Birmingham, Alabama, following the trail of a missing person, what should be a routine case turns into a complex chase for answers. Shady locals and a southern patriarch with dark secrets dating back forty years obscure their path. It seems like everyone has something to hide, including Charlie. When the case turns deadly with a double murder and Charlie is attacked on a quiet neighborhood street, everything suddenly becomes personal. Who can Charlie trust, and will she ever solve the riddles of the Magic City?
Cheryl A. Head is the author of six novels in the Charlie Mack Motown mystery series, as well as a stand-alone novel, Long Way Home: A World War II Novel, which was a 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Award finalist in both the African American Literature and Historical Fiction categories. She is originally from Detroit but now lives on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, where she navigated a successful career as a writer, television producer, filmmaker, broadcast executive, and media funder. When not writing fiction, she is a passionate blogger and user of Twitter, and she regularly consults on a wide range of diversity issues.
Reviews
“Bury Me When I’m Dead by Cheryl Head is a good old-fashioned whodunit, starring a cast of well-developed characters that help to ground its complex plot.”
“Detroit-based PI Charlene ‘Charlie’ Mack struggles with her sexuality and her ailing mother as she investigates a missing persons case in Birmingham, Alabama. A compelling mystery debut.”
