The Godmother's Gambit
(2025)(The ninth book in the Sofia Costa Mystery series)
A novel by Georgia Wagner
The invitation is a ten-million-dollar baccarat game at Casino de Monte-Carlo—the plan is mass murder.
Engines scream past Casino Square while the world’s wealthiest slide behind Belle Époque doors. Inside, seven power brokers sit down to a private, ten-million-euro baccarat tournament—just as a legend known only as Europe’s godmother moves her pieces into place.
Sofia Costa—ex-Interpol, polyglot, and the only woman Josef Varga trusts less than his own security—has forty-eight hours to keep him alive, unmask a ghost, and stop a city built for spectacle from becoming a stage for slaughter.
When a body drops from a hotel terrace and a poisoned bottle surfaces in the private salon, Sofia’s hunt snaps tight: a snake-silent assassin who once threw the man she loved off a cliff is back, and the godmother’s reach is everywhere—from the shark-lit tunnels of the Oceanographic Museum to a ghost yacht holding station beyond Cap-d’Ail.
With only the Calderón twins—world-class chameleon and wire-tapping trickster—and her steady mentor Nuno, Sofia must read a room full of sovereign egos, turn a killer’s code against him, and bluff the woman who rearranges nations with a phone call. Because in Monaco, money changes suits, promises are kept with blood, and the house always thinks it will walk away clean.
Genre: Mystery
