Description

Sometimes, Wilford DeBeer's high-risk, high-reward financial plans worked, and when they did, the clients of DeBeer Wealth Management lauded his brilliance. Unfortunately, sometimes they didn't, and people lost their businesses, their retirements, and sometimes their lives. So, when Henry Jansen, who was caddying a round of golf for DeBeer, pulled a gun and killed him, the reason seemed obvious.

It wasn't. Jansen had never been a DeBeer client.

Four days later, Jansen was identified as the shooter. But before the police could locate and arrest him, he was found dead in an alley near downtown Denver. At that point, suspicion pivoted to DeBeer's many disgruntled clients. One of them must have hired Jansen as their instrument of retaliation, then killed him to cover their involvement.

This theory, too, led nowhere as the investigation stalled after three months.

Frustrated by the apparent lack of progress on the case, Lauren Beckwith, Jansen's cousin, hired Private Investigator Rebecca Marte to continue the hunt. And while Rebecca apparently retrod much of the same ground as the police detectives, she must have done something different, because before she knew it, she was fighting for her life in a diabolical trap set by Jansen's killer.
