    About this ebook

    Burnt-out stockbroker, Finny Aletter, is leaving the cutthroat world of high finance to restore historic houses, where the chiseling is done with tools and not false promises.

    But her new career launch-party has been disrupted by the murder of a controversial judge whose minimum sentence for a convicted rapist has enraged the city.

    Now Finny must survive the social back-stabbing of Denver's elite and race to prove her guilt-ridden friend's innocence if she's to nail the crafty killer.

    REVIEWS:
    "A splendid writer—clear eyed, tough minded, and aware. Finny Aletter is a treat!" ~Lawrence Block, author of The Night and the Music

      The Only Rule

      There is only one rule in polite English society, but it is iron clad. Of course, polite English society is a fiction. For one thing, its members are rarely polite. Politeness is for the middle classes rather than those who live off ancestral acres o
