About Devil in the Deadline A Nichelle Clarke Crime Thriller

A human sacrifice unlocks a chilling mystery, and leads Nichelle Clarke into a world of unimaginable danger. "...You won't be able to read fast enough..." When Richmond Police find a young woman's bloody remains spread across a candle-lit altar in an abandoned power plant on the banks of the James River, they give crime reporter Nichelle Clarke an all-access pass in exchange for her help. But the information Nichelle gets from the victim's friends only draws her deeper into the mystery. Where did Jasmine come from? How did she end up on the streets of Shockoe Bottom? And why doesn't she have any dental records? The answer trail stops at the front doors of a sprawling compound in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, where Nichelle finds a secretive cult leader and his devoted following. It is a world where lies become truth, and money is the true idol. Money some people would do anything to keep collecting... Even if it means murdering a nosy reporter.
