Description

Shes the lawyer. But now shes the one on trial. A red canoe sits abandoned on Seymour Rock, right where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound. The elegantly dressed corpse of a woman lies inside... Nora Carleton left New York to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the worlds largest hedge fund, where her life has become slower, more predictable. That is until her colleague and friend, Helen, is brutally murdered and she becomes the prime suspect. In the months leading up to Helens death, she and Nora were investigating someone within the company who was using insider information to undercut Saugatucks investments. Nora knows this is somehow linked to Helens murder if only she can see how. Calling in old colleagues from the US Attorneys office, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence or risk being put behind bars herself... 'This is a really good mystery, expertly told and filled with the sort of detail only an insider could provide, including intrigue at the worlds largest hedge fund. Once I picked it up, I was hooked.' Joseph Finder Reviews for James Comey 'A great read. Brimming with been-there-done-that authority.' Michael Connelly 'A masterful blend of legal thriller, police procedural and psychological drama.' Jeffery Deaver 'A bold new talent in the mystery genre.' Harlan Coben
