An old journal, revealing hidden treasure at St. Francis Church, falls into the hands of acting medical examiner, Dr. Amy Daniels, and tests her faith in life, love, and trust. With the help of the church pastor, Father Michael Lauretta, they try to solve the century-old mystery. Before long, the two find themselves in the company of a trained Italian curator, desperate to ward off her greedy, possessive boss, who follows her to Vermont and intends to steal the treasure.
Against the backdrop of snowy Rocky Meadow, Vermont, bustling during the Christmas holidays, the remainder of the St. Francis family try to secure a new soup kitchen, only to find charity cannot escape tragedy. When arson and murder, at the local nursing home, lead to a dark, dangerous chase in the catacombs of the church, they all join together to follow age-old clues and find Sacred Gold, before the treasure and more lives are lost forever.

Amazon Review
In
Sacred Gold, the author takes us from the luxury of Manhattan to the
glamour of Italy to our beloved Rocky Meadow, Vermont and St. Francis
Retreat House. She weaves the legend of a king's gold into a very
believable, action packed thriller! I was hooked from the moonlit first
page and left breathless by the ending. The scenes in the catacombs had
me on the edge of my seat. I greatly enjoyed the contributions made by
Krista Liotti, who really brought the Italian characters and locations
to life. I hope she will collaborate on future books in this series and
eagerly anticipate their next adventure.
Warning: You will not be able to put this book down!
