At first glance, the quaint Southern town of Clinton, nestled beneath the gaze of Vulture Mountain, appears to be little more than a sleepy stopover with charming boutiques, a bustling courthouse square, and an ever-vigilant community of lifelong residents.
But in “The Clinton Mafia,” author Vonda Crocker invites readers to take a closer look—and what unfolds is a surprising, often hilarious, and ultimately thrilling tale of crime, sisterhood, and small-town resilience. Published by Citi of Books, this is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
This novel isn’t your average cozy mystery. It blends suspense, humor, real-world issues, and rich character development into a page-turning story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. At the heart of the chaos is a group of unforgettable women—affectionately known as “The Clinton Mafia”—who are as witty and loyal as they are underestimated.
Vonda Crocker graduated from the University of Arkansas and has taught all levels of school. She moved with her Army officer husband 26 times in thirty-four years. She has earned three black belts in karate, a ski instructor, crafter, an Army trained facilitator, and an avid gardener.
The story kicks off with the seemingly ordinary routines of Clinton’s residents: fudge-making, flower-shop tending, courthouse coffee breaks, and wine nights among a tight-knit group of friends.
But things take a sinister turn when a man dies in a car crash, triggering a hidden drug cache to reveal itself and setting off a chain of events that suggests something far viler is happening beneath Clinton’s picturesque surface. Savanna Sue Morgan and her band of fiercely intelligent, humorous, and devoted friends—Tiffany, Valita, Roz, Tammy, Belle, Buffy, and more—who begin to notice that something isn’t right.
From suspicious sales of large quantities of fudge to overheard conversations in a Mobile, Alabama restroom, the ladies connect the dots between their sleepy town and a multi-state drug operation. What follows is a combination of sleuthing, undercover teamwork, support for vulnerable community members, and a thrilling unraveling of a cocaine distribution ring—all while managing boutiques, writing food columns, and sharing wine-fueled updates on their families.
In short, “The Clinton Mafia” is a smart, sassy, and surprisingly powerful novel that celebrates friendship, sharp instincts, and the courage to stand up when something doesn’t feel right. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a twist, strong female leads, or those who appreciate a touch of humor in their mystery, this book will leave you cheering for the ladies of Clinton—and wondering what they’ll uncover next.
