A woman has been dead since 1988. Someone has been collecting her pension ever since. Now the records clerk who discovered it is dead.
A retired Manhattan white-collar defense attorney, Cassandra Mercer knows a fraud that survives that long is not an accident. It takes someone who understands the system, knows which records no one will compare, and has the patience to maintain the lie year after year.
As Cassandra traces the payments, signatures, and paper trail, she begins closing in on whoever kept a dead woman alive on paper for thirty-seven years. And whoever did it is not about to let her end the deception.
Perfect for readers of Louise Penny, Richard Osman, and Ann Cleeves.
