Clown Town

In Clown Town, everyone wears a smile. Some are painted on. Some are dead. When a body turns up with greasepaint smeared like a final grin, Jill—a street-smart rookie reporter with a detective's instincts—starts pulling at a thread the police won't touch. The only person in this city who refuses the mask is Jack, a bare-faced graffiti artist who maps power with murals and secrets with symbols. Together they navigate carnival-bright streets, shadow economies, and a ruthless syndicate that keeps the town laughing while it bleeds. Every clue peels back another layer of performance: corrupt contracts, protection money, and a ritual show the kingpins stage to keep the city obedient. To print the truth, Jill has to survive it. To stay free, Jack has to choose which face to wear when the guns come out. Gritty, fast, and knife-sharp, CLOWN TOWN is urban fiction crossed with a whodunit—detective grit, mafia heat, and a mystery that sprints. Perfect for readers of socially charged Black crime thrillers and relentless city-set suspense. Fans of powerhouse, high-velocity crime like S.A. Cosby will feel right at home. (Amazon, Amazon) Expect: urban life and street politics, a murder investigation, a dangerous love-adjacent alliance, double-crosses, masked power, noir mood, and a breakneck finale that rips the paint off the city. "You'll like this if you enjoy…" Hard-driving, socially aware crime with morally tested leads. (Amazon, Amazon) Fast, action-forward mysteries with criminal syndicates and tactical twists. (Amazon, Amazon) Gritty urban fiction featuring crime families, hustles, and city realpolitik.
