Fame, Fortune and Secrets
(2022)(The third book in the Grace Powers Mystery series)
A novel by Wendy Byrne
Book #3 in the Grace Powers Mystery series by USA Today Bestselling Author, Wendy Byrne
Fan-girling isn't something Grace Powers would typically do, but she can't help herself when her hero Theo Carter comes to her PI office looking for help. He'd been an inspiration to every kid growing up in poverty in Chicago. Not only had he survived, but he'd flourished by getting a full-ride scholarship to Harvard undergrad and law school. He even had a brief stint as a movie star. Seeing his meteoric ride to success made her and thousands of other kids believe they could attain the same lofty goals.
Right now Theo was engaged in a tight political race for US Senator. With momentum building and about nine months from the election, Theo had a big problem. His wife was missing and he had no idea where she'd gone. He hoped Grace could find her before the press found out.
As luck would have it, less than twenty-four hours after their initial meeting, police discovered Theo's wife's abandoned car at the Chicago lakefront. Blood in the car along with an empty bottle of Oxycotin didn't bode well for a positive outcome. Grace had to hit the ground running if she wanted to get ahead of the vultures.
Run-of-the-mill missing person cases were never easy. But this predicament had crash and burn written all over it. Providing top-notch detective services to a well-known highly visible public individual could prove to be challenging if not impossible. And somehow she'd be responsible for trying to figure out how to thread that needle!
It didn't take long for all hell to break loose. Grace tried to do her job while juggling the press, Chicago PD, possible suspects, and a host of folks who thought they should contribute to the chaos. Which, of course, made everything worse.
With her back up against the wall and a client that wasn't big on sharing information, she couldn't be sure she'd ever be able to put together all the pieces of this puzzle. She might have to face the real possibility this could be her last case.
Genre: Mystery
