Death Fund: Legal Thriller

By: Hemming, Stina

"A solid series starter that never flags in its sprint to a sinister climax." - Kirkus Reviews

"OUR VERDICT: GET IT"
------Alex reviewed the coroner's report from Max's police hack while sipping a drink from the jet's well-stocked bar. The report stated the cause of death was internal bleeding and head trauma caused by the collision. The coroner had ruled the death accidental. But Alex Greene, an attorney turned insurance investigator, suspected differently.

And the drama begins. In Stina Hemming's legal thriller series, you will meet Alex Greene, a Paris-based securities lawyer who investigates fraud, deceit, and death in the US capital markets. In the first book, Greene tackles a series of suspicious deaths that have triggered massive payout claims to an unexpected beneficiary: a Boston-based life settlement fund. Known as a death fund, the fund's business is to purchase life insurance from hapless policyholders-and cash in when they die.

When Greene gets involved, the death fund is in the final stages of a billion-dollar IPO, and she quickly learns that the financial stakeholders will go to any length-including murder-to close the file. In an investigation that spans the globe and puts her life and ethics on the line, Greene must take on the fund's Russian mafia backers, a homicidal American lawyer, and a Mossad-trained assassin. With the body count rising, Greene will need all her skills, including her training as a martial artist and expert sharpshooter, to stop the killing spree.

With the stakes and danger this high, will the fund's lawyers discover that not acknowledging the fraud and murderous intentions of their clients is a deadly strategy? Or will they get away with papering the crime and profiting from the corruption?

If so, they will have to outsmart the best securities investigator in the industry: Alex Greene.

Stina Hemming's protagonist Alex Greene, in this John Grisham flavored thriller, is fiercely intelligent, diabolically independent, and relentless in her pursuit of her client's best interests, Greene is a powerful force to be reckoned with, and her reserved and professional demeanor belies her ruthless, tough, and sometimes violent personality.
Watch out. Things could get messy.
