Received 5 Star Review from Readers Favorites and a Bronze Medal from Global Book Awards!
Computer whiz Mat Briscoe is looking for a new start to escape a disappointing love affair and a stagnant career. A big city seems the perfect answer, a chance to start fresh and forget in the high-tech business world of 1990s Washington, D.C.
Hired to replace someone who was killed in the office she occupies, Mat has questions but they are met with silence, evasive answers and hostility.
Veiled threats and clues her predecessor left behind hint at an illegal shadow business. But who is behind it? The brilliant technical expert with a personality problem? Her old flame Curt? A close friend? And what are they trying to hide?
The answers to murder, the mystery at Kinross and the thrilling conclusion throw her personal and professional worlds into turmoil and she must decide where her future lies.
