In the Catering Hall Mysteries, Mia Carina moves back home to Queens, where her father Ravello, a capo with the Boldano crime family, has been tasked with running a rundown banquet hall that was surrendered to him by a broke gambler as a legit business. Mia has always wanted her father to go straight. But who knew working for a catering hall could be as dangerous as working for the Mob?
