Funny Money — Traci DePree

When Kate Hanlon decides to help a new family at Faith Briar Church battle their son's overwhelming medical expenses, she takes up a collection… and gets far more than she ever expected. When phony money is discovered in the collection plate, Kate and her fellow parishioners all find themselves in the middle of a counterfeiting ring. The Secret Service investigates, and the trail leads them directly to Tim Lourdes, the father of the sick boy. But Kate suspects there's more going on here than meets the eye. Meanwhile, she, Paul, and several others from town are involved in a dance competition, taking lessons from another couple who has recently arrived in Copper Mill, the Harpers. The dance instructors energize their charges, bringing excitement and a sense of camaraderie to all who learn under them, but is there something else going on at the dance studio? And why does the Secret Service seem to be giving the counterfeit case far less attention than it deserves? Something just doesn't add up, and Kate Hanlon -- with her faith, family and friends -- is going to find out what it is.
