ABOUT THE BOOK

$10,000,000 Is Missing.

Erin Larson is running out of options. In the wake of her father's death, she found a slim piece of paper--a deposit slip--with an unbelievable amount on it. Only the bank claims they have no record of the money, and trying to hire a lawyer has brought only intimidation and threats. Erin's last chance is Jared Neaton.

How Far Will One Lawyer Go to Find the Money?

When Jared wearied of the shady ethics of his big law firm and started his own, he never expected the wheels to fly off so quickly. One big loss has pushed him to the brink, and it's all he can do to scrape by.

And How Far Will Someone Go to Stop Him?

He's not sure if Erin's case is worth the risk, but if the money is real, all his problems could vanish. When digging deeper unleashes something far more dangerous than just threats, both Jared and Erin must decide the cost they're willing to pay to discover the truth.

MY THOUGHTS
Every now and then I need to take a break from Historical Romance and Amish, and this was a great book to take a break with!  A little action, a lot of questions, enough to keep you on your toes for the entire book! 

The Deposit Slip will remind you of books written by John Grisham, full of legal twists and turns, and you'll wonder as you read, where did the money come from...where IS the money, and will the truth be found?

This is a very good legal thriller...beware, you may not be able to turn the pages quickly enough.
