In tiny Solitude, Louisiana, the matriarch of an old money dynasty dies. She leaves a letter to her heirs with two bombshells: clues to finding a hidden fortune in jewels from the nineteenth century and a murder confession. As if that wasn't enough, Edith Wainwright told more juicy tidbits from the past to a true crime podcaster.
Nola Rae Landry is far more than another attention-seeking, loud voice.

Nola Rae's storytelling skills and expertise attract a large audience, setting her apart from the crowd. And thanks to Edith, she has a riveting new series sure to be a viral hit.
Yet truth-telling often comes at a high price. Tensions rise, more inconvenient facts come to light, and the society crowd is shaken by scandal. And a prominent local is murdered. Nola Rae's family thinks she should drop the story. But that's not going to happen. Edith's revelations are much deeper than gossip. Nola Rae is convinced following the clues will not only lead to a long-hidden treasure but right a one-hundred-year-old injustice and unmask a killer.
