Veronica Tracey Spy/PI book 8.

Cousin Donald’s bid for mayor of Upper Hutt was always going to cause trouble … but Ronnie Tracey didn’t expect death threats, campaign sabotage, and an FBI agent breathing down her neck.

The new Wellington-based agent is investigating the disappearance of Jonathon Tierney, and his questions are hitting uncomfortably close to Ronnie’s world. Add in political rivals, shadowy enemies, and family chaos only the Traceys could deliver, and Ronnie’s caught between small-town politics and high-stakes espionage.

Winning the election might be Donald’s problem. Surviving it is Ronnie’s.
