The Atlanta Co-Ed Murder is a story about who murdered a young attractive middle-class co-ed on a college campus. The body was discovered by the college security guard who stopped three young men, premiere athletes on the University's top performing sports team, trying to dispose of the remains. The young men were enrolled in an all male college and the murdered co-ed was the girlfriend of one of the three 'prima donnas' athletes. The young lady was a student at the all girl's neighboring college. The sparks begin to fly early when the male institution takes the preliminary position that the young men are presumed innocent and a former alumnus who has become a major national religious figure takes an interest in the case. Also, intentionally conspicuous legal council is hired to represent the athletes and it appears that a 'male' perspective is dominating the early agenda. But the opposite point of view is quickly consolidated by a high profile female administrator from the women's college who can match the passion and intellect of her male counterparts. The City of Atlanta becomes divided in this intellectual and legally charged debate on who's responsible for the murder of Carlita Valencia? Ms. Valencia's father is a well-known Atlanta attorney working for the law firm of Mr. Franklin Dillard, the renowned Bay Area legal scholar who lost his daughter two years earlier in the infamous Oakland Hills Vodou Murders case. The individual who solved that mentally challenging case, Detective William Monroe Lincoln, has been hired to help the Atlanta Police Department solve this homicide. The characters involved are sometimes as flamboyant as the rhetoric and the circumstances and Detective Lincoln must concentrate on the facts presented and not on the continuous ebb and flow of the non-material items which seem to constantly obscure his search for the truth. When one of the characters consistently exhibits a behavior of physical foreplay in responding to his questions, the detective brings in his formidable friend Lenny who can match pound for pound any physical threat presented. The case requires Detective Lincoln's analytical skills to be at their best in order to help the victim's parents bring peace to their lives after losing their precious daughter. The Atlanta Co-Ed Murder once again puts Detective Lincoln...in play.

This novel is about Detective Lincoln receiving in the mail an invitation to be the bodyguard for an apparently wealthy New Orleans gentleman, Sir Charles Conrad Blackwell. Mr. Blackwell was born in rural Louisiana in the bucolic impoverished creole section of New Orleans. His baptized first name was indeed Sir, a calculated move by his mother to make her child stand apart from his inconsequential and impoverished peers and hopefully to provide him with a constant reminder to strive to be above others in his pursuit of a higher grade of life. Sir Charles had married a relatively poor Caucasian woman, Miss Edna Beaumont, a member of a proper family without proper financial resources for his 1st wife. Edna bore him three children, two boys and a girl. Sir Charles 2nd wife, Juanita, bore him two offspring, one boy and one girl. The children had all the opportunities of upper-middle strata economic life, academically and socially stable schools in a safe environment. The children had memberships in mixed-race country clubs, wore fine clothing, and never lacked monetary resources to attend events or travel. But as time moved on, only Sir Charles proved to be financially successful, no one else. Now in his early eighties, his accumulated peculiar personal eccentricities had caused severe stress among family members and others. The Blackwell household now profusely exhibited Victorian repressed social mores. Sir Charles forces his wives and adult children, similar to the classic Scarlett Letter theme, to wear letters of sins on their clothes when they come to visit and he makes them visit on all major holidays. For those who dont comply, theyre cut out of the will, and no one wants that. So, Sir Charles firmly believes that now, either acquaintances, Voodoo practitioners, former business partners, or family members want him harmed or dead and he requests protective services from Detective Lincoln. Will the guileful detective take on the role as bodyguard as requested?

The third immediate suspect was Abigail's latest male friend, an aspiring New York City actor who also happens to be the son of an alleged Mafia boss. The investigation by the private firm is not yielding any informative information leading to the identity of the murderer and Barbara Baker, after finding her daughter's diary, now distrusts whether she is getting a 'full disclosure' from the private firm.
