NOT ACCOUNTING FOR MURDER

Fraud. Deceit. All cloaked in clever financial wizardry.

Anne Scott is a rising star on Wall Street who navigates the ever-changing seas of finance with deft precision. But in the high society inhabited by her boyfriend’s family, she feels like a fish out of water. These two worlds collide when she dumps the stock of a highly regarded company and its CEO blames her for causing the share price to plummet.

At a lavish wedding in the Hamptons, he chews her out in front of the well-heeled guests, mortifying her boyfriend’s parents who become even more certain she’s not good enough for their son.

Things go from bad to worse when the happy newlyweds depart for their honeymoon and the bride trips over the CEO’s lifeless body.

With Anne’s boss questioning her judgement and her future in-laws expressing doubt about her suitability at every turn, she must thread her way through a complicated game of financial and social deception. She is sharp and skillful, systematically exposing the lies.

But has she failed to account for murder?

. . .

"As the youngest manager for Spencer Brothers' Centaurus stock fund, Anne Scott just wants to do right by her investors. But when she decides to dump the fund's shares of Energix, a Wall Street darling reporting profits through the roof, she doesn't realize her move will endanger the fortunes of people close to her and entangle her in a murder mystery—where she's the prime suspect. Author Rebecca Saltzer draws on her background in the financial industry to weave a smart, page-turning tale of deception and intrigue. Always follow the money."
