I'm currently reading Running on Empty by Karin Fitz Sanford. This book is the second in the Wine Country Cold Case Mystery series.
A late night attempt to help her teenaged employee leads Anne McCormack to the home of Lino and Renee Pardini. While looking for fire violations for a school project they find cash and jewels stashed in a wall. Quickly leaving after glares from Lino, Anne feels that's the end of it. Especially when Lino dies a few days later. But it's soon discovered that Lino was running a Ponzi scheme and had bilked his investors for millions. His natural death suddenly doesn't seem so natural...especially since a prior wife disappeared without a trace and was later found murdered. With her uncle chomping at the bit to get involved it seems Anne may be dusting off her badge once more.
