    About this ebook

    A DEVIOUS PLAN is a tale of revenge, deception, and intrigue. With an unfaithful wife and a career in shambles, troubled Bill Ferguson decides to take drastic action. The youngest Vice President in the history of Greystone Mutual Insurance, the workaholic executive becomes burned out, slacks off, and is demoted as a result. Learning of his wife Laura’s infidelity only adds insult to injury. Lost, he is intrigued by a news story about a man who attempted to fake his own death and failed miserably. Bill decides he can do better. A lot better!

    Over a two month period he perfects a scheme to make it appear as if he’s been murdered, then steal the three million in life insurance from his wife. His intricate plan includes creating two new identities, a fictitious employee, and a private, overseas bank.

    Bill’s scheme is just crazy enough to work. His staged crime scene confuses the police, while unbeknownst to him, his wife and her lover help to further his plan. After stealing the money in daring fashion, Bill and the cash disappear. An elaborate financial shell game allows him to walk away with the money. The question is, will he be caught?
