🔍 About the Book
The Godfather of Dance
by Andrea Barton
Genre: Women Sleuths | Mystery | Thriller | Crime
Pages: 296
Murder. Dance. Family secrets.
Rookie journalist Jade Riley moves to Houston determined to write the story that will launch her career. Instead, her world shifts when her ballroom dance instructor introduces her to an infamous cold case.
Anton Valencio has spent years trying to escape his past. Born into a notorious New Orleans crime family, now a respected dance instructor, Anton is consumed by grief — and suspicion. His fiancée’s murder remains unsolved, and he believes he knows who is responsible.
As Jade and Anton dig deeper, they uncover a dangerous web of betrayal and long-buried secrets. But someone is determined to keep the truth hidden — and will stop at nothing to silence them.
A tense, atmospheric mystery, The Godfather of Dance launches the Jade Riley Mysteries with style, heart, and high stakes.
