Nicole is a strong, independent woman who has carved out a successful career for herself in the rough and tumble world of the private dick.

Although he was only in his early twenties, Kevin dressed in a suit and tie and had his own desk, putting him a notch or two above the tellers. In the most recent home invasion, which involved Brad and Ashley Rexton, things had gone wrong from the start.

As a newly licensed PI, Nicole had done work for Rexton Enterprises when they were trying to collect a settlement from another business that had hidden its assets.

Nicole, the surprised recipient of a two-million plus, unwanted and unexpected inheritance doesn’t realise that she is now in the direct cross-hairs of the kidnappers. A. This made her job infinitely easier than having to track down someone with a common name, like a Jane Smith or a Robert Jones.She is torn between allowing the police to do their job, in the form of the rather dishy detective Arnault, or trying to negotiate the ransom payment and her sister’s safe release, direct with the kidnappers, especially when she realizes all the kidnappings may be linked and she may have a handle on the perpetrators. Then she noticed he was looking at the papers on her desk—case files that were strictly confidential. Author Boyarsky brings authentic dialog, fast-paced action, and a clever plot that could be snatched from tomorrow’s headlines.

Many thanks to the author / INscribe Digital / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. One was the way most crimes and attempted cover-ups were so badly bungled that the perpetrators had to be stupid, crazy, or both to imagine they’d get away with it. She probably wasn’t in the witness protection program, since they would have provided her with a credible past. We’d already submitted a forensic accountant’s report that showed Blair used his tax-paid wages to invest from the time he began working.

When Nicole Graves arranges a summer-long swap of her Los Angeles condo for a London couple’s house, she thinks it’s the perfect arrangement. But things get complicated after someone associated with another kidnapping is killed, one of the other victims goes missing, the police get involved, and Nicole’s money drop is not picked up… twice!
