A witch, a spy, and a marriage of convenience walk into Churchill Downs. What could possibly go wrong?
Maggie Park has finally discovered that her Life’s Journey is tied to SKUL, a secret international agency that has no idea its newest civilian consultant is a witch. Unfortunately, her next assignment may require more acting than magic.
Someone is fixing races at Churchill Downs.
Wealthy horse owners are suspected of doping their competition and placing millions of dollars in illegal bets. To infiltrate their exclusive circle, Maggie must pose as the wife of dangerously handsome agent Mick Jasper. It should be simple. Attend glamorous parties, befriend the right people, and uncover who is cheating.
Except Maggie knows almost nothing about horses, Mick insists they are not partners, and her enchanted red convertible is determined to sabotage their pretend marriage.
When the investigation takes a deadly turn, Maggie realizes the scheme reaches far beyond the racetrack. Someone inside their new social circle is willing to kill to protect the operation, and Maggie’s snooping has placed her directly in the winner’s sights.
Now she must expose the killer, protect her family’s magical secret, and survive long enough to cross the finish line.
Because at Churchill Downs, the stakes are high, the suspects are wealthy, and betting on the wrong person could be deadly.
Betting Off Dead is the second Spies & Spells paranormal cozy mystery, featuring witchy family chaos, Southern humor, romantic tension, an opinionated magical car, and a mystery racing toward a deadly finish.
