The plots are inventive, and as someone always trying to guess how a story will unfold, I'm always left guessing until the end.

Nobody makes spy movies about accountants. So when two ex-CIA operatives hand a forensic-accounting professor a case, the money runs through Malta, the bodies start adding up, and the ledgers turn out to be the deadliest thing in the room.
Nobody makes spy movies about accountants-which is exactly the kind of oversight that gets people killed. Told in lean, wisecracking, Sam Spade-style prose, Accounting for Spies drops forensic-accounting professor Ben Stone and his partner, Philadelphia homicide detective Sharon Levin, into a job handed over by two ex-CIA operatives gone private. A mid-sized accounting firm's money is running through Malta-casinos, cryptocurrency, and a trail that points toward terrorists and weapons-and the deeper Stone works the ledgers, the less they balance. Between a knife-fight of a faculty tenure battle at home and a money-laundering hunt that spans continents, he learns the oldest rule in the book: follow the money, and the money will lead you somewhere it doesn't want you to go. Brainy, funny, and hardboiled to the last decimal.
