Hidden Fortune

This is book 18 in the popular Claire Rollins paranormal cozy mystery series by USA Today Bestselling Author J A Whiting. Spring cleaning at Chocolate Dreams turns up more than dust when Claire, Nicole, and Robby discover something hidden behind the walls of their Boston North End chocolate shop. The moment Claire touches it, her intuition sparks flashes of a museum, shadowy figures moving artwork in the night, and an old Italian man with paint-stained hands. Within twenty-four hours, a man is dead. Vincent Marcello, an art forger who claimed he d gone straight, was watching the chocolate shop the day before his murder. Now Detective Ian Fuller wants to know why. As Claire digs into the Marcello family history, she uncovers a web of secrets stretching back to the 1930s: covered-up thefts and a truth someone is willing to kill to keep buried. And someone else is following the same trail. With spring in full bloom across Boston and danger closing in, Claire and her friends, Nicole and Robby, must find the killer before the past claims another victim.
