Second Advent — Tony Perona

Fatal Vision

The shocking suicide of the beloved and wealthy patriarch of his Indiana hometown lures investigative reporter Nick Bertetto briefly out of his new role as a stay-at-home dad to take a closer look. The dead man left a will that bequeathed a huge sume of money to a religious organization called Children of the Second Advent, now run by his granddaughter Martha, a beautiful woman who also happens to be Nick's old flame. Martha is convinced her grandfather was murdered.

Nick soon comes to the chilling realization that Martha has the most to gain by a murder investigation--especially since her grandfather's generous bequest to her organization is void if his death is ruled a suicide. Nick receives a warning to back off--or else--leaving no doubt that sinister motivfes are at work. Soon a dark picture of fanaticism, con artists, "miracles" and cold hard cash lead Nick closer to a killer dead set on making sure there will be no second coming. . .or second chances, for Nick.
