 Nero’s Fiddle is a murder mystery with a mission. When investigative journalist Debra Ann Wynn travels to rural Arkansas to expose a brutal crime, she uncovers a corrupt county where power protects itself, truth is dangerous, and silence is the price of survival.

Part thriller, part political satire, and part moral reckoning, Avril Maria Serene’s novel delivers sharp humor, unforgettable characters, and a story that refuses to pretend everything is normal.

Not for the faint of heart—
but impossible to ignore.

The tragic mystery she exposes runs on personal grievances, social fallout, and criminal misjudgment spiraling toward violence. As she pulls on the threads, the path to murder borders on the absurd even as it becomes terrifyingly plausible.

She's willing to push the boundaries of common sense to understand why. As inexplicable tragedies entangle her and haunt friends and loved ones, the enormity of the bloodletting becomes obvious, the diabolical reasons for it innumerable, inescapable, terrifying... and undeniably real.
