The beginning of a new series by Samantha Sonnett
I predict good things for this book, the series, and the author (who I do not know, but will hopefully get to meet if she does a North Carolina signing).
The prologue was a little tough to read, but not in the least bit gratuitous, and is a perfect introduction to the book, imo. Trust me.
THE PROTECTORATE is available through NetGalley. Publication date is September 1.
Description
Durham, North Carolina, 2012. When Detective Sofia Rodriguez is called in on her day off to find a plumber dead in his van—posed with Black-Eyed Susans and a Sylvia Plath verse cradled in his bloodied hands—she knows this is no ordinary murder. By the time the second body surfaces, then a third, Sofia and her partner Detective Jones are hunting a serial killer with a message, a method, and a symbol none of them can identify. That symbol belongs to The Protectorate—a century-old secret society of elite women that has quietly shaped American history from the shadows. When their emblem appears at a crime scene, the organization's leadership launches its own parallel investigation, desperate to contain the exposure before the FBI closes in.

FTC Full Discosure – I received a galley from the publisher through a NetGalley request which I made with no expectation of a positive review.
