Environmental specialist Nicola Bosco did not think twice about the random security check before entering the building in D.C. She placed her designer briefcase carrying government papers on the conveyor belt and endured the frisk. The wand went up one side of her body and down the other without a bleep. Her shoes were inspected for any suspicious crevices. When Nicola’s briefcase failed to roll of the assembly belt she furiously contacted everyone she had seen in the lobby. No one had knowledge of her briefcase. Even the security cameras failed to capture the confiscation. No problem. Nicola had backup; or so she though. All of her computerized data had been seared. In a few short minutes Nicola Bosco went from being a respected special agent to an embezzler of pension funds. Where else does a scorned woman go but home? Nicola learned the briefcase mishap was a small part of a grander scheme that targeted her family. 978-1-61386-119-6 Women’s Contemporary Fiction, mystery, suspense, romance
