About this audiobook
"A gripping crime drama ... an engrossing story ... a marvelously entertaining suspense tale. OUR VERDICT: GET IT." – Kirkus Reviews (Critical Recommendation) "Anyone interested in a compelling character-driven mystery will devour this story. It's unlike any crime novel I've read before but is no less gripping for it." – Independent Book Review Montecito: Where having it all sometimes means having the most to hide. For a smart guy, Hollis Crawford has certainly fouled things up. He planted his family in California's wealthiest town, backed his wife's transition from high-powered public relations partner to non-profit volunteer, and then got fired—not once, not twice, but three times. Now, with his savings drained and his prospects dwindling, Hollis is desperate for one last chance to keep his family afloat. Which is why the mysterious Wimby family—Montecito's latest imported millionaires—seem heaven sent. Towering Cyrus Wimby commands a sprawling mansion, a winery, and a stunning wife as pedigreed as his stable of horses—a life of wealth and privilege. But Cyrus has his eyes on a bigger prize. To get it, he will need help. The help of someone hungry. Someone desperate. Someone like Hollis. It's a chance for Hollis to save his career, his marriage, and his family. All he has to do is say yes ...
