What Power Buries
(2026)(The second book in the Mara Fenn Investigations series)
A novel by Patricia Neary
The police called it suicide. The dead man's assistant called Mara Fenn by name, two days before anyone assigned her the story.
A Brooklyn attorney is found dead in his locked office. No forced entry. The medical examiner signs off in forty-eight hours, and the police close the file in four days. Clean, quiet, finished. Except for the phone call that came before the case ever reached her desk.
That's the first thing that doesn't fit. It won't be the last.
The deeper Mara digs, the closer Michael Vane's death leads her to somewhere she swore she'd never go again: back toward the small Pennsylvania town where her own mother died of a heart attack that was never a heart attack. Two deaths, three hundred miles apart, built on the same buried foundation.
Someone knows Mara's schedule. Someone knows where she sleeps. And someone at the top has spent forty years making sure the people who get close never get to finish.
Mara intends to finish.
Genre: Mystery
