Malice & Murder

By Nancy Popovich

Malice & Murder is a tale of friendship, loyalty and a determined quest for a murderer. In the act of saving the life of his friend and fellow agent during an intelligence mission, Steven Hunter is badly injured by a bullet. When he surfaces, it is in a familiar childhood place where he sees his lifelong friend, Charlotte. There is however, a small wrinkle. Not only did their torrid affair end badly, she’s been dead for five years.

Charlotte's ghost asks for his help to track down her murder. Still stinging from the end of their affair and what he considered her betrayal, Steven wrestles with his conscience about helping her, especially when Charlotte reveals a hidden side of her life, which jolts his rigid code of honor.
The search for her murderer takes Charlotte on a revealing journey back to her former life, her childhood home and the place where she was murdered. Along the way, she encounters a new associate, who joins her on the voyage to find the truth. When the truth is revealed, they witness an unimaginable and hitherto unknown form of justice claim the murderer.
