 $10,000,000 Is Missing.

Erin Larson is running out of options. In the wake of her father's death, she found a slim piece of paper--a deposit slip--with an unbelievable amount on it. Only the bank claims they have no record of the money, and trying to hire a lawyer has brought only intimidation and threats. Erin's last chance is Jared Neaton.

How Far Will One Lawyer Go to Find the Money?

When Jared wearied of the shady ethics of his big law firm and started his own, he never expected the wheels to fly off so quickly. One big loss has pushed him to the brink, and it's all he can do to scrape by.

And How Far Will Someone Go to Stop Him?

He's not sure if Erin's case is worth the risk, but if the money is real, all his problems could vanish. When digging deeper unleashes something far more dangerous than just threats, both Jared and Erin must decide the cost they're willing to pay to discover the truth.

My Thoughts About The Book:
It is always exciting to discover a new author.  Mr. Johnson has earned himself a standing with Grisham and Singer with this debut novel.  While starting off a bit slow, the story just got better the further I read.  The chapters were short and Johnson keeps the story moving.  The storyline between Jared and his dad added a nice depth to the overall plot.  I'll certainly be looking to read more from Mr. Johnson in this genre!
 
Blessings,
Jennifer
