Options: The First Novel in the Kate Monahan Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450263771)

When Evelyn Morris dies suddenly during an office potluck, her friends and colleagues at TechniGroup Consulting attribute her death to a reaction from her severe peanut allergy.

Kate Monahan, a paralegal/legal secretary at TGC, deals daily with the ups and downs of the corporate world. Evelyn was her best friend, and the unexpected death leaves her shaken. Kate starts digging around for information, and she uncovers decades-old secrets that could kill careers and nosy paralegals.

Portraying the erratic and eccentric behavior of executives and directors who serve on boards of directors, Options delves into the cutthroat business and financial world. It provides a firsthand, fictional look into how executives can manipulate public share prices to benefit their own bank accounts-a situation in which the sloppy and inept management of shareholders' money leads to murder, suicide, and betrayal.
