Galliano Gold - Franki Amato Mysteries, #5 - E-book - ePub

All that glitters isn't gold on Franki's steamboat investigation... It's Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, but PI Franki Amato has too many problems to celebrate. A proven Sicilian lemon tradition hasn't landed her a proposal, so her nonna has amped up the meddling to get her married, and pronto. Franki's also under pressure to solve the strange murder of a family friend's nephew, Nick Pescatore, who was found on a Mississippi River steamboat rumored to be haunted.
When the sinister old boat sets sail on an overnight gambling cruise, Franki goes undercover with a motley crew, including a Mark Twainophile captain with a murderous past and a slimy galley chef with a mobster brother, not to mention an ex-stripper landlady with a newfound career as a memoir writer and all-too public speaker. Franki has to figure out what missing Civil War gold, a playing card, and a mysterious woman on roller skates have to do with Nick's death.
If she doesn't, it's anchors aweigh for Franki-down to Davy Jones' locker. Galliano Gold is book 5 in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be read as a standalone.
