The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Vance and Micah had turned the place upside down but found no trace of anyone.

Noah had dropped dead as if life had abruptly come to an end.

“Karen, have you ever seen anything like this?” Vance inquired.

Karen shook her head. “It’s not poison, not a concealed weapon, not a heart attack… I’ve never heard of such a death!”
