A Charity to Die For

She found her father. Then someone made sure she lost him forever.

After being laid off from her banking job and moving back home, Mara learns the identity of her biological father. Their first meeting is brief, awkward, and life-altering. Hours later, he’s dead—his death staged as an accident in a storage unit. Police move on. Mara doesn’t.

Armed with an observant banker’s eye, a puzzle-loving brain, and an uneasy alliance with her former boss turned reluctant protector, Mara digs into a maze of suspicious charities and polished lies. Her suspects include the grieving widow who stands to inherit and a dishonest charity official who her father did not trust.

Then the dog she is training as a side gig brings home a threatening note on its collar.

Clearly, someone doesn’t want her to uncover the truth. But if she doesn’t, the next loss may be her own.
