When Antonia "Toni" Sclafani, beat-cop from Passaic, New Jersey, rolls into the sleepy southern town of Jefferson, Georgia to start at the local PD, she's depressed, lonely and disillusioned after witnessing years of corruption and disparity. The old biddies' tongues wag at the new hire: an unmarried Italian woman - and a cop? Toni feels the curiosity ? and hostility ? the moment she arrives. When a young woman is found brutally murdered on Toni's first day, her body stashed in a truck bed, Toni wonders what she's gotten herself into. Two more murders quickly follow, each grislier than the next. Is a serial killer in their midst? As Toni searches for answers, she digs up secrets of the local "Peach Mob" a gang of southern-fried criminals, and the man Toni suspects is their leader: Frank Carroll, the philandering local good ol' boy who seems to have everybody in town ? including the police ? wrapped around his finger. Dark secrets surround Frank and his family, secrets someone will go great lengths to bury. But as it turns out, Toni happens to have a few secrets of her own: secrets she must guard with her life, if she hopes to escape with it.


Inspired by small-town southern crime, The Dixie Mafia, and 80s Satanic Panic, Doomed Girls of Jefferson is a southern gothic mystery drenched in blood.
