BLACK ROSES

A counterfeit black-rose arrangement pulls florist Amari Bell into a Los Angeles noir where beauty, reputation, missing people, history, and evidence begin crossing paths.

A producer is missing.

A luxury event is surrounded by reputation warfare.

An archive carries questions nobody seems interested in answering carefully.

And one arrangement is being treated as if it can prove more than physical evidence actually allows.

BLACK ROSES follows Amari through the craft trail, business records, community memory, physical trace, and disputed provenance while asking who benefits when Black political history is stripped of context and repackaged as expensive atmosphere.

The flowers are evidence of craft.

They are not magic.

BLACK ROSES is a 444-page POLYFLY Foundation Era Los Angeles noir thriller about counterfeit beauty, missing history, provenance, reputation, community memory, and the dangerous distance between an object and the story somebody wants that object to prove.
