Tom Salvo blamed the Bellanoa family’s mafia ties for the death of his younger brother.
So when the bitter old fisherman shocks Mariner’s Reach by hiring Gia Bellanoa to cater the harbor memorial dedication, Gia knows the contract is sending a message disguised as a peace offering. Before she can confront him, Tom vanishes from his boat, leaving behind a tattered prayer card, cut fish netting.
With Pesto, Gia’s very insistent one-eyed cat, uncovering clues and June Arliss digging through old records, Gia follows a trail that pulls in reporter Nico Leone, evasive fisherman Pete Hollis, nervous committee chair Berl Rogers , and harbor treasurer Ruth Mueller. Every puzzle points back to a decades-old drowning, stolen money, and a family grudge aimed in the wrong direction.
If Tom died with the truth, was his grudge going to drown Gia or her reputation?
