The author!
J.A. Jance writes several series as well as stand alone books. This book is an Ali Reynolds Novel that is set in the southwest. She also does a series, the Joanna Brady Mysteries set in the same area of the country. There is also a series that is based in Washington State about a detective called the J.P. Beaumont Mysteries. Miss Jance is an outstanding mystery writer and I think you will enjoy her books.
The book!
Clawback, the title of this book, is a term I was not familiar with. Apparently it is a term that came out of the Ponzi scheme era. When the SEC closed down a company guilty of operating a Ponzi scheme if certain investors had drawn money out of their accounts within a certain period of time they were made to pay the money back. If the SEC did not recover all of everyone’s money then what money they did recover, including what the investors had to return, was divided between all the investors. I am still not sure why “Clawback”
In this book Ali’s parents lose all of their money in a Ponzi scheme. Ali and her husband B own a security firm and they are pulled in when Ali’s father is accused of murder. This is an exceptional book full of mystery and suspense. It tells of a high tech world and the many things you can do if you know how. Ali clears her father of the murder charges and then with her parents’ help they set out to follow the paper trail back to the money.
If you like a good mystery you don’t want to miss Clawback.
Happy reading, Linda
