Ten years later during an ordinary audit, Rick Morgan, Chief Audit Executive for the insurance company learns of the extra ordinary death benefit. At first he’s curious, but with facts being cold, vague or missing, his gut tells him there is more. Digging into the past with the help of Vince, a former homicide detective, a bizarre puzzle emerges. Which piece is the mysterious disappearance of the former United States Congressman, the fatal car wreck that left three little girls orphaned or the FBI who wants the investigation dropped?
Gathering the pieces, someone is always a step a head. But who? The elegant, conservative Human Resources VP? The playful, sexually starved Branch Manager? The gorgeous woman with a secret past? The stunning but shrewd corporate attorney? Or the mystery woman in San Francisco?

What’s an insurance auditor to do when it’s discovered your company may have paid out 40 million dollars of death benefits in possible insurance fraud.  For Rick Morgan, it takes you on a wild ride from Seattle, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Francisco and Las Vegas.

This was a fast paced story that keeps you interested with the strange twists and turns the investigation took.  But it’s not only the investigation that keeps you interested, but Rick’s strange ability to attract all sorts of woman to him.  It definitely kept you wondering who was next.

For someone who generally reads books written for females by females, it was refreshing and interesting to read a story written from the male perspective.
