A tragic auto accident? No! The accident was staged, and young Doctor Ward murdered. But why? And by whom? The only witness, a DUI motorist, flees the scene. In the aftermath of Ward's death, and the media fascination, his widow, socialite Kingsley Ward, flees Philadelphia, impulsively accepting a job as VP of commercial lending at a small-town central Pennsylvania bank. But trouble follows her. She uncovers a bogus loan scam that leads her to suspect senior management. Throwing her life into further disarray, the anonymous witness to her husband's murder contacts her with compelling details about the killer's identity. Angry and frustrated, Kingsley vows to solve both crimes herself, risking her job, her reputation-and even her life.
Autorenporträt
Nancy A. Hughes, a native of Key West who grew up in Pittsburgh, lives with her husband in south-central Pennsylvania. Following graduation from Penn State where she studied journalism, she spent years as a business writer, specializing in media, community, and public relations for small to midsize businesses. In recent years, Nancy turned her attention to murdering people-on paper, that is. Her focus is character-driven crime-solving mysteries, her subgenre being amateur sleuth. Her debut mystery novel, The Dying Hour, was released in 2016 by Black Opal Books. A Matter of Trust, the first in her Trust trilogy, followed in 2017, Redeeming Trust, also in 2017, and Vanished in 2018. Her latest book, The Innocent Hour was published by Black Opal in 2020. When she isn't writing, she is devoted to shade gardening, volunteering at the VA, and spending time with family and friends.
