_____________________________
Alex reviewed the coroner's report from Max's police hack while sipping a drink from the jet's well-stocked bar. The report stated the cause of death was internal bleeding and head trauma caused by the collision. The coroner had ruled the death accidental. But Alex Greene, securities lawyer turned insurance investigator, suspected differently.
And the drama begins. In Stina Hemming's legal thriller series, you will meet Alex Greene, an attractive, Paris-based fortysomething, who investigates fraud, deceit, and death in the US capital markets. In the first book, Greene is called in to investigate a series of suspicious deaths after life insurance claims are made by a Boston-based life settlement fund. Known as a death fund, the fund's business is to cash in on life insurance policies purchased from hapless policyholders.
To solve the case, Greene is forced to take on the fund's Russian mafia backers, a homicidal American lawyer, and a Mossad-trained assassin. In an investigation that spans the globe and puts her life and ethics on the line, Alex quickly learns that the Russians and their lawyers will go to any length-including murder-to close the billion-dollar IPO. The body count is rising, and Greene, trained in the martial arts and an expert sharpshooter, will need to draw on all her skills to stop the killing spree.
Will the fund's lawyers discover that not acknowledging the fraud and murderous intentions of their clients is a deadly strategy? Or will they get away with papering the crime and profiting from the corruption? If so, they will have to outsmart the best securities investigator in the industry: Alex Greene. Fiercely intelligent, diabolically independent, and relentless in her pursuit of her client's best interests, Greene is a powerful force to be reckoned with, and her reserved and aloof demeanor belies her ruthless, tough, and sometimes violent personality.
Watch out. Things could get messy.______________________________
