ALL MONEY AIN’T GOOD MONEY

A Jinx Curry Mystery

Jinx Case File #001

Jinx Curry has a simple philosophy about private investigation: if people want to cheat, lie, and sneak around, they should at least have the decency to pay her for watching.

But Jinx is tired of spying on cheating spouses. As a single mother struggling to keep her bills paid—and with a debt hanging over her head—she wants a case that actually matters.

Then her boss gives her one.

A congressman’s teenage granddaughter has disappeared, and Jinx is offered a $50,000 bonus to find her.

The money could change everything.

But finding Elena Calloway won't be easy. Everyone connected to the missing girl seems to have something to hide, from a rising rap star with a secret that could destroy his career to Jinx's childhood friend, who wants his money back. A Georgetown Law dropout has a troubling past, while Elena's powerful grandfather has an election—and a family scandal—to protect.

Then someone in a black Corvette nearly runs Jinx down.

When the same person begins stalking her, Jinx realizes she's no longer just investigating a missing-person case.

She's become a target.

The deeper Jinx digs, the more dangerous the case becomes. And with her daughter's safety at stake, Jinx has to uncover the truth before the person hunting her gets there first.

A missing girl. A dangerous secret. A $50,000 payday. And a private detective who refuses to quit.

Welcome to the Jinx Curry Mysteries.

About Tracey Lampley

Since trading Cincinnati’s Queen City for the heart of the South in 2013, Tracey Lampley has been taking a long, hard look at Atlanta—and all the secrets hiding in plain sight.

As the founder of Tralam Publishing, Lampley writes high-stakes Atlanta Noir that explores the city beyond its polished skyline, venturing into the neighborhoods, relationships, ambitions, and street-level realities that make Atlanta one of the South’s most complicated and fascinating cities.

Her Jinx Curry Mysteries introduce readers to Jinx Curry, a sharp-tongued, resourceful, and relentlessly persistent private investigator whose cases rarely go according to plan. Jinx is messy, determined, and willing to go where other investigators won't—making her the kind of detective Atlanta deserves.

Lampley brings a writer’s craft and a publisher’s perspective to her storytelling. She holds an MA in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University, an MS in Publishing from Pace University, and a BA in English/Technical & Scientific Communication from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

With the Jinx Curry Mysteries, Lampley is carving out her own corner of the Georgia mystery scene—one dangerous case, complicated character, and hidden Atlanta secret at a time.
