Uncertain Stakes

A Luca Mystery, Book 9

De: Dan Petrosini

Narrado por: Francis G. Kearney

A woman with a lust for risk-taking...

She’s missing, with more suspects than evidence.

While investigating a cold case and juggling family obligations, Detective Luca finds himself at the center of the mysterious disappearance of Beth Wade.

As he unravels the young woman’s life, the list of suspects grows exponentially. A husband, a lover, a disgruntled client, an ex, a criminal, a loan shark - they all had motive to harm Beth, but the evidence against any of them is sketchy, at best.

The truth seems just out of Luca’s grasp, but he’s determined to uncover the truth about what happened the night she vanished. With political pressure to handle the case sensitively limiting his investigation and personal concerns weighing down on him, Luca must press ahead and trust his gut...or risk losing the perpetrator forever.

Unexpected Stakes is a stand-alone story in the best-selling Luca Mystery series.

What Happened to Beth Wade?

In this Detective Luca mystery, our hero looks into the disappearance of the daughter of one of his boss's acquaintances. What follows is a twisted tale that produces more an more suspects as the detective and his partner follow the trail.
I loved the careful police work, the false flags and the dogged determination that I've come to expect from these stories ... and there's even a hint at where the next case may take him.
If you love police mysteries, this is a good one.

Excellent

Beth was a risk taker now vanished, the list is long of suspects, political and seemed to be out of his grasp of where and who. Always good stories and with good narration with this one to enjoy.
