DETCTIVE JULIAN PALMER IS TAKING A BREAK FROM HOMI-CIDE-OR SO SHE THINKS.
Signing on to assist in a simple insurance investigation, she soon finds herself enmeshed in something far more elaborate. It's a bizarre case, one that leads her from a dead investment banker with a mysterious briefcase to a rene-gade inventor in the New Mexico desert and, ultimately, to the investing frenzy of Wall Street in the late 1990s. It also leads her to an unexpected romance with Tom Hartley-a man as lonely as Julian and as passionate about uncovering the truth.
Welcome to the twists, turns, and switch-backs that are Jonathan Stone's trademark. A world of puzzles and mirrors, where the possibilities move as fast as the characters. Where the trail goes from cold to warm to sear-ing hot. And where a beautiful young banker seems to wield more power dead than alive.
In Jonathan Stone's Breakthrough, the collars may be white, but the blood still runs red.
