The Mystery of the Eighth Deadly Sin
(Mystery - Fiction)
432 pages - $14.99 (paperback)

Strange things are happening in the city. The assistant principal at the relatively new Academy of the Second Chance is bitten fatally by an African black mamba, and another violent death occurs at a fundraiser for the police commissioner who is running for US Senate. Luckily, our favorite heroine, Conci D'amato McVey, is back in an all-new adventure. This time, in The Mystery of the Eighth Deadly Sin, Conci and her husband, Mike McVey, head of homicide, along with Lt. Alex Melville and Sgt. Maxwell, have their hands full investigating mysterious deaths with even more mysterious causes. Suspects abound, including a famous redheaded model whose very presence threatens to destroy the McVey marriage. When counterfeit money, passed around the city, is traced back to the Academy of the Second Chance, the plot thickens. Are the crimes linked? The chase is on to find the brains behind the counterfeiting ring and solve the suspicious deaths as Conci and her aunt Sister Mary Concetta Rose find themselves right in the middle of another Gloria D'Alessandro mystery.
