Murder By Numbers

????? "Art, ethics, and justice collide in this unforgettable whodunit where every brushstroke could be your last." When the bank's values are worth killing for… In the heart of Montana's wild beauty, artist and retreat owner Cassandra Fairweather has built a sanctuary for truth, healing, and creativity. But when she's pressured into hosting a luxury "wellness retreat" for the top brass of one of the country's most powerful banks—the same kind of institution that destroyed her family—she braces for a week of hypocrisy and hollow corporate slogans. What she doesn't expect is murder. One by one, the executives begin to die—each death eerily echoing one of the bank's five "core values": Caring. Integrity. Passion. Courage. United. With the sheriff's suspicions closing in, Cassandra is forced to investigate the people she loathes most. What she uncovers is a web of money laundering through art acquisitions, offshore shell companies, political payoffs, and mob connections—all hidden beneath the polished veneer of "ethical banking." When her own art is vandalized and evidence is planted to frame her, Cassandra must use every ounce of her skill, wit, and intuition to expose the killer before she becomes the next target.
