Undercover with Natalia AKA Lia
It’s never easy being someone you aren’t. We all do it. Wear different masks for work, family, and friends. My masks have become literal costumes starting with my ex-husband, who is as crooked as they come. Yet, law enforcement can’t seem to catch him.
We met in Canada, fell in love quickly, married, then everything changed. He was one way with me, but I noticed he was more secretive and some of the phone conversations I overheard pointed to a life of crime. Naturally, I snooped. What I found was racketeering, smuggling, and violence. I was terrified, to say the least.
I felt trapped, but I had the advantage of Jackson Nestle not being aware that I knew what he was up to. I sought help from a friend who was dating someone in the FBI. What a long, tedious story to tell. I’ll keep it short. I found out I couldn’t testify in court, but I took it upon myself to share what I found with the FBI to help them build a case. From there, it got ugly until I finally got a divorce.
I had to go into witness protection due to some of the men getting squeezed from the law based on information I shared. Then, my ex-husband found out I had betrayed him. Since then, I’ve been a different person—literally. I now go by Lia with a new color and style hair, colored contacts, and all the stress that goes with that.
Recently, I read a news story about possible mafia connections being associated with the small village of Leavensport, Ohio, and saw my ex-husband’s name in the article. I took it upon myself to leave witsec, go undercover as a homeless woman so I could be close to the construction crew my ex, Jackson Nestle, ran building a mall between Tri-City and Leavensport. And boy, a lot is happening in that little town. I’m feeling heavy and hanging by a string right about now.
To find out more about the masks I wear, you’ll have to dive into The Cast Iron Skillet Mystery Series!
Welcome to Leavensport, OH, where DEATH takes a DELICIOUS turn!
About the book
Nature breeds new life with the sign of Spring in the air in Leavensport, Ohio, and Jolie and Ava find their new families’ lives turned upside down! With properties in Leavensport beginning to sell, Nina Sanchez opened a bakery after purchasing the lot next to M&M’s Italian restaurant. She is new to town and swears to Ava and Jolie she has no connection to the Dominican Republic Sanchez mafia family. Yet, Ava is skeptical, and this sends Jolie and Ava off on yet another investigation looking at how organized crime connects to their little village and the politics that surround it.
Meanwhile, Nina Sanchez is not thrilled to feel obliged to cross-sell and become a full-fledged member of Leavensport, especially not with Jolie and Ava investigating her history. She has no choice when her son discovers a murdered homeless woman on the street on his way to deliver bread to the local shelter—it looks a lot like a mob hit and the reveal of who the homeless woman is will send all of Leavensport on alert making Jolie question the future of her town.
