Without leaving their Chicago suburb, lifelong friends Val and Kit manage to go global-though not by choice-in No. 7 of The Val & Kit Mystery Series. This stand-alone book finds them unwittingly embroiled in an intrigue that turns deadly after Val's brother, Buddy, shows up. The retired Navy officer comes with secrets that both tantalize and terrify his little sister. Luckily, she has Kit. She also has her "detective friend" Dennis Culotta, but Val can't decide if he's more help or hindrance as he seems to match Buddy secret for secret. Meanwhile, Kit becomes distracted when her son appears with yet another secret for the BFFs to untangle. When Val gets caught in a life-threatening situation beyond her control, she doesn't know who she can trust-except for her bestie.
