At the request of a local journalist, genealogist Torie O'Shea sets out to research her Missouri hometown's two mayoral candidates: incumbent Bill Castlereagh and his challenger, Sheriff Colin Brooke, Torie's stepfather. With the discovery of a body linked to the Chicago Mafia, Torie's research into the mayor's genealogy turns up more questions than answers. As the case unravels, the mayor flees town and Torie makes a shocking discovery that might lead to her own demise.
This is the first book I've read by this author and I enjoyed it so much that I've gone back and requested the other "Torie O'Shea" books. It reads fast and keeps you wanting more. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
