About this ebook

When hedge fund owner Jay Montgomery raids his own fund, he disappears with millions belonging to his investors—including his wife Grace, his dead partner’s widow, and a vengeful Russian oligarch. Long-time frenemies, Grace and widow Dana want their money back and reluctantly team up to track him through the Ozarks, Switzerland, and Monaco. 

 

Their pursuit turns deadly when two people connected to Jay are killed. The women fear they may also have become targets after a series of fake online transactions in their name.
