  New York Times bestselling author Mary Jane Clark whips up a savory and suspenseful confection, filled with murder, mystery, history, and voodoo, in which Piper Donovan must unmask a devious killer striking in New Orleans's legendary French Quarter 
  That old black magic 
  Aspiring actress and wedding-cake decorator Piper Donovan has barely arrived in New Orleans to perfect her pastry skills at the renowned French Quarter bakery Boulangerie Bertrand when a ghastly murder rocks the magical city. 
  Intrigued by the case, Piper can't help but look for the "Hoodoo Killer" among the faces around her. Could it be the handsome guide eager to give her special private tours? Or the inscrutable jazz musician who plays on historic Royal Street? What about the ratings-starved radio talk-show host? Or even the amiable owner of the local Gris-Gris Bar? 
  Though Piper has a full plate decorating cakes for upcoming wedding celebrations, she's also landed an exciting but unnerving role in a movie being shot in the Big Easy. When the murderer strikes again, leaving macabre clues, she thinks she can unmask the killer. But Piper will have to conjure up some old black magic of her own if she hopes to live long enough to reveal the truth.

  ‎The Murders in the Rue Morgue," first published in 1841, is historically significant for being one of the first detective stories, birthing a new literary genre. Set in 19th-century Paris, the story features an amateur detective, C. Auguste Dupin, who uses logic and observation to solve a baffling double murder that has stumped the police. Its publication in the context of growing urban anxieties about crime made it an immediate success and laid the groundwork for future mysteries, establishing conventions like the brilliant but eccentric detective and the less intelligent police.

  The Covid Murders is a medical thriller that also explores what is wrong with American health care and how to fix it. The second in The Irv Tinsley Health Policy Detective series picks up where the acclaimed The Theory of Irv: An American Health Policy Detective Story left off.  
  The Covid Murders begins with a dead body: an unfortunate patient who dies on an operating room table in a suburban Nashville, Tennessee hospital. Thomas Baker’s open-heart surgery goes wrong, unleashing forces inside the hospital and out that threaten the public’s health.  It matters that Thomas Baker is a “very important person” in the community. 
  Our story’s central hero, Irv Tinsley, is brought into the investigation of Baker’s death through his friendship with the Hospital's new administrator.  Their investigation soon encounters big problems, including questions about other suspicious deaths at the Hospital.  Could they all be explained by Covid?  Or were these just the result of medical errors? Or is there a systematic care problem at play that threatens future patients? Or could it be something even worse? 
  The quest for truth also runs into political complications of the highest order, not just in Nashville but Washington, D.C.  The future of American health policy confronts our heroes! You may come away from this read believing that we are on the path of destruction, that is if we don’t assert control over the health care system and the politics that surround it.   
  Readers will discover an entertaining way to access the complex issues of American health policy and politics through this cross over genre that adds these important health policy questions to the traditional medical thriller genre. Listen today!
