McNally's Chance: An Archy McNally Novel by Vincent Lardo

Palm Beach's premier man-about-crime returns, in a delightfully raucous romp among South Florida's fabulous and felonious.

When Sabrina Wright, bestselling author of sumptuous tales of loves lost and found, asks for Archy McNally's help in finding her missing husband, Archy quickly discovers it's not a simple domestic case. Sabrina's husband did not disappear: rather, her daughter, Gillian, ran off, and Sabrina sent the man, not her father, to find her-and he seems to have gotten lost, too.

Gillian Wright fled to Palm Beach when she learned the true story of her birth: Sabrina had the baby out of wedlock, put her up for adoption, then adopted her. Sabrina has never revealed the name of Gillian's father, having received a large sum of money to keep the whole thing quiet. But when local gossips get wind of the story, three different Palm Beach gents come to Archy to confess their paternity and beg him to protect them from any scandal. Sabrina had committed indiscretions with all three-and collected from all three. When she turns up dead, however, Archy must take a chance-and hope to discover which of these men would kill to conceal his secret.
