An Option on Death (Emerson Ward series)

By Michael W. Sherer

Book Overview

Emerson Ward is in love. The kind of old-fashioned love that makes him want to carve "EW Loves JP" on a tree. He's known Jessica Pearson for a long time. They almost made it work once, but she wasn't ready. Now she's back, ready for love, for Emerson. But just as suddenly she's gone again, accidentally killed by a stray bullet that comes bursting through Emerson's living room window. Or is it murder?The only way Emerson can get on with his life is to find out who killed Jessica, and why. He does have clue: When Jessica reappeared on his doorstep, one of her suitcases contained a quarter of a million dollars-in cash-and a pile of confirmation statements revealing a tangled web of stock transactions.His quixotic search for the truth leads Emerson to the Bahamas, Florida, New York and back to Chicago on a trail strewn with dead bodies, smuggling, missing persons and too many people who aren't what they appear or who they say they are. All have something to hide and everything to lose if Emerson uncovers their secrets. And they'll do anything to stop him.Michael Sherer is the Thriller Award-nominated author of 'Night Blind'.
