Daughter of Deceit by Patricia Sprinkle

Katharine Murray's elegant Atlanta home has been viciously vandalized! She's prepared to devote all her time to getting it back in tip-top shape--until she meets Bara Weidenauer. Once a picture-perfect socialite, Bara has fallen on some hard times. Her husband, Foley, has hightailed it out of their marriage, and she's convinced he'll try to take her for every penny she's got. While scouring her house for anything of value to hide from her greedy ex, Bara finds a box of military medals that once belonged to her father, a beloved war hero. Eager to know the story behind these precious trinkets, she enlists Katharine's help.

But as Katharine digs deeper into Weidenauer family history, she discovers that everything Bara believed about her father may have been a lie. And when Foley is found shot to death, Bara's world turns to complete chaos. It's up to Katharine to expose this family's secrets from the past and the present . . . or the future will be very grim indeed.

Patricia Sprinkle determined in ninth school that she wanted to be a writer, and she pursued that dream at Vassar College, where she studied creative writing. Sprinkle returned to the United States after a life-changing, deadline-free stint in the Scottish Highlands, where she settled down with her husband and children in Atlanta, Georgia, where she discovered her passion in the mystery genre. Sprinkle has published twenty mysteries, four novels, and five nonfiction works since 1988. She eventually returned to school to get a Masters of Arts in Religious Studies with a focus on religion and literature at Florida International University. Mableton, Georgia is where she currently resides.
