(The first book in the Tucker Sinclair series)
A novel by Patricia Smiley

 
Tucker Sinclair is an engaging, down-to-earth heroine a successful L.A. management consultant with a charming weakness for her Porsche Boxster. When investors accuse Sinclair of doctoring a business plan, they approach her boss and mentor, Gordon Aames, and demand their $11 million back. Sinclair goes in search of the plan s primary author, a brash neurologist, Milton Polk, and discovers not her elusive doctor but a policeman with a Polaroid of the dead Polk. Sinclair injects herself into a charity luncheon given by the highly suspicious Wade Covington, a powerful man connected both to Aames and the murder victim. Clarification of Covington s murky relationship to Polk and of a convoluted insurance scam take up most of Sinclair s energy, though she finds time for sparkless visits with her ex-husband and skirmishes with her Aunt Sylvia, who s determined to get her hands on Sinclair s beachfront cottage.
