The Scammer

7 October, 2025

Illustrated cover for The Scammer. A disembodied hand hovers above five Black teenagers illustrated in black and white, with strings connecting four of the five teenagers to it. The fifth teenager has topped over, the string connecting them to the pinky finger snapped. Everyone else stands over an aerial view of what looks like a building you'd find on a college campus.The Scammer by Tiffany D. Jackson

Out from under her overprotective parents, Jordyn is ready to kill it in prelaw at a prestigious, historically Black university in Washington DC. When her new roommate’s brother is released from prison, the last thing Jordyn expects is to come home and find the ex-convict on their dorm room sofa. But Devonte needs a place to stay while he gets back on his feet—and how could she say no to one of her new best friends?

Devonte is older, as charming as he is intelligent, pushing every student he meets to make better choices about their young lives. But Jordyn senses something sinister beneath his friendly advice and growing group of followers. When one of Jordyn’s roommates goes missing, she must enlist the help of the university’s lone white student to uncover the mystery—or become trapped at the center of a web of lies more tangled than she can imagine.
