Marked man / by Mayor, Archer,author.;
"In Archer Mayor's Marked Man, the death of a local millionaire becomes suspicious when Joe Gunther learns that he was not who he claimed. A year ago, local philanthropist and millionaire Nathan Lyon died a natural death in his sprawling mansion, a 150,000 square foot converted mill, surrounded by his loving, attentive family. Or so it seemed at the time. Now Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team has discovered that almost nothing about that story was true. Nathan Lyon was actually Nick Bianchi from Providence, Rhode Island. His money came from Mafia-tainted sources. And his family now seems to be dying themselves and their deaths are now revealed to be murders. As Gunther's team desperately works to uncover what is going on at The Mill, who is responsible and what they are trying to accomplish, Joe himself travels to Rhode Island to look into the original source of the money. While the police are doing their jobs, private investigator Sally Kravitz teams up with reporter Rachel Reiling to expose the truth behind this tangled and expanding web of duplicity, greed, and obsession. Having betrayed many, it's no surprise that Nathan Lyon was a marked man. But now Gunther has to figure out who, among the many, killed him, and stop them before their killing spree claims another"--

"As Nonna Maria's longtime friend and sometimes colleague, Captain Murino of the Ischian caribineri, never wanted to see harm brought to the doorstep of everyone's favorite espresso-brewing, counseling-giving amateur sleuth. But when you live a long life, you're bound to make a few enemies. And when those enemies come calling, you have to rely on friends. Faced with an assassin seeking revenge for a decades-old grudge, Captain Murino has no choice but to turn to Maria, who will have to use all her neighborly resources, clever faculties, and lifelong friends to save him from his perilous predicament. On the other side of the island, another mystery begins to unfold from the deathbed of another of Maria's old friends, a fruit peddler with a simple life, a man of modest means.

There will be others with sinister motives who will do all they can in their malicious power to make the unspoken treasure their own. But this letter is a guide, a secret-the only gift he has to give. When the granddaughter needs help cracking the code, she turns to her grandfather's trusted friend, Nonna Maria. From battling foes in medieval castles to exploring the notorious caverns where smugglers hid their goods, Nonna Maria and her friends--some old, some new--embark on their most swashbuckling adventure yet."--
