Grand Theft Lotto — Paula Graves

When a winning Lotto ticket worth millions disappears at a family get-together, Stella Hannigan's mother turns to her daughter's cop partner, Lee Brody, to help her find the purloined prize. But when the top suspect ends up brutally skewered in a back alley, Brody and Hannigan realize they're up against more than a simple thief. They're chasing an elusive killer with some very murky motives.

With a growing suspect list that includes some of Hannigan's more disreputable kinfolk, the detectives have almost as much trouble getting their hands on the killer -- and the stolen Lotto ticket -- as they do keeping their hands off each other.
