The Friday Edition (A Samantha Church Mystery, Book 1) by Betta Ferrendelli
01/19/2026
Snow isn’t the only thing falling in Denver, Colorado, on Christmas Eve.
When a brilliant young district attorney plunges to her death from a high-rise balcony, the police call it suicide. Her sister, reporter Samantha Church, calls it something else—murder.
Determined to uncover the truth, Samantha follows a trail of evidence linking the DA to a dangerous and deadly drug smuggling ring. What begins as a personal investigation quickly spirals into the biggest story of her career—and the most dangerous.
But Sam carries her own demons. Her battle with alcoholism has already cost her a prestigious reporting job and, most devastating of all, custody of her young daughter, April. Now, as she edges closer to the truth, she must navigate a deadly web of betrayal, cartel violence, and deception, all while facing her own worst enemy—herself.
When the killers threaten April, the stakes become terrifyingly clear. Alone, Sam doesn’t stand a chance. To save her daughter and survive, she must do the unthinkable: ask for help from her ex-husband, Detective Jonathan Church.
Will Sam bring her sister’s killers to justice, confront her addiction, and reclaim her life—or will she and April become their next victims?
