Despite being a top model, gracing magazine covers and runways around the world, Nora found her true calling in the fight for justice. Particularly cases neglected by the authorities. She left behind a successful career on the runway to lead a community-owned private investigation cooperative, Black PI. Her firm specializes in missing women of color. In this gritty political drama, she uncovers dark secrets in search of these forgotten women.
Nora is educated, wealthy, assured, a trait shaped by years in the fashion industry. Beyond appearances, she is keenly intuitive, an intellectual, and empath. Her investigations cut through corporate conspiracies, political corruption, and an intensifying conflict with a Christofascist militia. Black PI will risk everything—her license, the revolution, even her comrades—to bring these cold cases out of the shadows and into the light.
A cold case involving an immigrant worker who vanished without a trace on the previous Fourth of July. A terrorist bombing at a bakery co-op, potentially an attempt to assassinate a populist mayoral candidate. The police drag their feet, refuse to investigate, or, in turn, investigate Nora. She’s on her own.
Nora will use everything she has: her McGuyvering skills, community connections, and an increasingly eerie intuition. The stakes mount as her investigations expose corruption and conspiracy, risking a civil war, with Rock City at its epicenter.
After her apartment is broken into, and she’s followed, fear and tension mount. Nora fears for her life and the lives of her friends. Instinctively, several intense and visually striking ancestral rituals, apparently rooted in African and Caribbean traditions, force their way into her consciousness.
As Nora delves into these spiritual practices, her intuition deepens. This provides a crucial anchor, helping her navigate the dangers of her case as she connects more profoundly with herself. As the case and the conflict with New Earth intensify, she fears doing what is right may lead to unimaginable loss and a haunting guilt for the deadly consequences.
