Street Gods and Goddesses Preside Over Philadelphia. From their places in the scenes of over 6,000 murals, these muses embody athletes and activists, poets and preachers, lovers and heroes. They remember history. They celebrate culture.

And in The Muralist, they inspire a serial killer.

To catch the murderer — a figure that stages victims in mural scenes — a team of homicide detectives must learn the history of the Delaware River waterfront, navigate homeless encampments of opioid addicts, and uncover the link between foster care and street art that will unriddle the staged crime scenes.

As the case navigates the politics and societal inequities that have driven Philadelphia’s history, the hunt consumes the attention of an entire city.

What this author said about working with us...

Having published with a New York publisher before, I am so much more impressed with the attention to detail and copy editing that Luminare Press gave to my project. Their editing is indeed superb, and the staff's organization, timeliness and troubleshooting capabilities spearheaded my book into existence. I could not have had a better publishing experience. I have already sent one client their way, and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Carrie Hagen
