New Orleans, LA – M. Anthony Phillips invites readers to journey into the heart of 1957 New Orleans with his latest release, A Tall Dark Sin, a captivating novel exploring race, power, and family secrets through the eyes of Dorian Lancaster.
Dorian Lancaster, a magnetic and mysterious thirty-year-old Colored man from Denver, Colorado, finds his life upended when he receives an unexpected letter from his estranged father, Oscar Broussard. A prominent Creole businessman and molasses factory owner, Oscar abandoned Dorian as a child to preserve his family’s elite status in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans. Now, on his deathbed, Oscar calls upon the son he cast aside to face old enemies, rekindle family ties, and fight for a legacy overshadowed by blackmail and betrayal.
The letter thrusts Dorian into the dark, alluring world of New Orleans, where he uncovers secrets that challenge his resolve and ignite his passion. Among his obstacles is Oscar’s rival, Auguste Dupree, a powerful entrepreneur and publisher of the Pontchartrain Gazette. Dupree’s vendetta against Oscar has escalated into blackmail over a deadly event from their past, threatening to destroy the Broussard family name.
Dorian’s return as a “tall, dark stranger” stirs conflict and desire, ensnaring him in the lives of Dupree’s three captivating daughters while he faces racism, the Ku Klux Klan, and his father’s crumbling legacy. Against the backdrop of a city steeped in secrets and power struggles, Dorian must reconcile his past to fight for his future.
M. Anthony Phillips masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue, drama, and sensuality, bringing 1957 New Orleans vividly to life. With themes of redemption, identity, and resilience, A Tall Dark Sin is a compelling story for readers seeking a gritty yet seductive literary escape.
