Ventures, Vengeance & Murder
(2025)(Book 11 in the Stacie Maroni Mystery series)
A novel by Christa Nardi
What do an anonymous tip that a social service agency is mishandling funds and the murder of a prominent doctor and advocate for children have in common?
When a prominent doctor and outspoken advocate for child victims is murdered, trauma counselor and amateur sleuth Stacie Maroni can't help but wonder if there's more to the tragedy than meets the eye. At the same time, whispers of mishandling of funds in the programs meant to aid victims have surfaced. Are the two events connected, or is it just an odd coincidence? Stacie doesn’t believe in coincidence and neither does Detective O’Hare.
Stacie’s focus shifts to the those individuals most affected by the good doctor’s testimony in court and his death. As Stacie extends her support to the doctor's fiancée, Megan, she uncovers hints at something else going on. When anonymous threats escalate into real danger, Stacie realizes she’s stumbled onto more than she anticipated. With her own life on the line, and potentially, Megan’s, Stacie must untangle the truth.
This is the 11th book in the Stacie Maroni series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone mystery.
