**A MYSTERY INTRODUCING VICTORY (TORIE) O'SHEA.** **A SPUNKY MISSOURI GENEALOGIST TRACES A FAMILY'S ROOTS...AND DIGS UP A DEADLY SECRET!** As resident genealogist, historian, tour guide and occasional amateur snoop, Victory "Torie" O'Shea can be found anywhere in the historic German town of New Kassel, Missouri - mixing fudge, giving tours, tracing family trees, and even investigating murder... When shop-owner Norah Zumwalt asks Torie for help in piecing together her family lineage to find her missing father, Torie cheerfully agrees. But before Torie delivers her results, Norah is brutally murdered. Now Torie must use her formidable skills at prying into the past - and the human heart - to solve a case of passionate secrets and betrayal. But as the Mississippi floods, she may be in deep trouble when evidence of another killing surfaces - and Torie comes face to face with a family skeleton that will chill her to the bone.
