This fascinating novel grabs and holds the readers attention page after page, as Caroline Morgan, world-class jet-setter, beauty, and corporate executive struggles to escape the grasp of mobster Angelo Gambretti. He has threatened to drug her, put her to work in one of his whorehouses, and then kill her, if her dead ex-husband's corporation fails to continue laundering money from his casinos and whorehouses.
Caroline conducts a no-holds-barred campaign for the help of Will Eaton, a powerful Houston lawyer, on week-ends in his remote East Texas cabin, and in his bed. Eaton enjoys her persuasive techniques, but absolutely refuses to be involved in the money laundering operation.
The cabin is located in the piney woods on Farm to Market Road 127 in Cherokee County. The sheriff of Cherokee County considers Caroline a suspect in the death of her ex-husband who was found murdered in Rusk, the location of one of her plants. She becomes active in the county politics, where she has a small iron ore plant, and plots to use the sheriff's forces to eliminate Gambretti.
Enjoy the read, and then recommend it to your book club.
