False Profits

Newcomer Patricia Smiley hits the ground running with this smart and suspenseful debut novel that takes the Los Angeles business scene by storm. The action never lets up in this rip-roaring tale of money, mayhem, and murder, as management consultant Tucker Sinclair gets caught up in a world of scamming highfliers and sleazy entrepreneurs-where living by the law of the corporate jungle makes her fair game for a cutthroat killer... Tucker will have to sharpen all her skills to survive the deadly jungle of spreadsheets and business models. For if she fails, this deal-maker will be a done deal.
