Uptempo
It's Friday night and Bryon Jordan, an overworked African-American professional, is out of his element but looking hot. He's lounging at the bar of Sutra, a club thumping with bass-heavy music, dripping with beautiful women, and whose name alone implies sex appeal. After throwing back one too many drinks, Bryon finds himself in the arms of a stunning young stranger who unearths a side of him he'd long since laid to rest. The night is wild, passionate, and liberating but Bryon's personal hell begins the next morning. Suffering the weight of his troubles, Bryon must struggle to save his reputation, his career, and his relationship with Kendall, the woman he intends to marry, all while facing crooked cops, public humiliation, possible jail time, and ruin.

The Impersonator
In 1917, Jessie Carr, fourteen years old and sole heiress to her family's vast fortune, disappeared without a trace. Now, years later, her uncle Oliver Beckett thinks he's found her: a young actress in a vaudeville playhouse is a dead ringer for his missing niece. But when Oliver confronts the girl, he learns he's wrong. Orphaned young, Leah's been acting since she was a toddler. Oliver, never one to miss an opportunity, makes a proposition—with his coaching, Leah can impersonate Jessie, claim the fortune, and split it with him. The role of a lifetime, he says. A one-way ticket to Sing Sing, she hears. But when she's let go from her job, Oliver's offer looks a lot more appealing. Leah agrees to the con, but secretly promises herself to try and find out what happened to the real Jessie. There's only one problem: Leah's act won't fool the one person who knows the truth about Jessie's disappearance. Set against a Prohibition-era backdrop of speakeasies and vaudeville houses, Mary Miley's Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Competition winner The Impersonator will delight readers with its elaborate mystery and lively prose.
