The second novella in the series of Helen and Frank stories , Marinated Money continues to follow the antics, love, crime and capers of Helen and Frank, who met in a St. Louis memory care center amidst the Covid-19 pandemic ... and fell in love. By the end of 2021, the pandemic dragged on. Economies were in chaos. Politicians were at each other's throats. Helen and Frank have married and moved to a rural area of St. Albans, Missouri, to escape urban chaos. However, Vinnie, Frank's nephew, has caught up with them with an anxious and concerned phone call Frank can't ignore. Before they know it, they've become involved with con men, a money laundering caper, and a cast of nefarious characters. Throw in some good intentions - and bad decisions - and some good old fashioned twists and Marinated Money will keep you guessing until the end. And what about those bronzes?
