A Note From Stephen Curry

I've chosen to share this book with y'all for many reasons. Mysteries featuring and written by strong, Black women are uncommon. This changes the game for good. As theology professor Annalee Spain's faith shines through, we get to share not only an exciting mystery, but a vulnerable spiritual journey as well. It's something special.

HERE'S ALL THE SKINNY ON

ALL THAT IS SECRET

Winner of the Christy Award for First Novel

A riveting puzzle about young Annalee Spain, a poor, prim Black theologian―and Sherlock fan―seeking to solve her estranged father's cold-case murder in a city ruled by the KKK.

“Raybon’s lively style keeps the novel moving...I’ll look forward to Annalee’s next case!”  Historical Novel Society
