And Not a Penny More

Bay Tanner is plunged into the world of international intrigue when old school friend Jordan von Brandt returns to South Carolina to bury her mother. Widowed socialite Leslie Herrington is found dead in her South American hotel room. Natural causes, the authorities say. Murder, insists her estranged daughter, who sets out on a campaign to enlist Bay's help in proving it. Lined up in opposition are Jordan's brothers, especially Trey, perpetually broke but charming Hollywood hanger-on, who desperately needs the estate settled quickly. Bay resists until she accidentally stumbles across a bizarre website that seems to support Jordan's suspicions. Suddenly she finds herself sucked into a vortex of undercover Interpol agents, the glittering highlife of the moneyed elite, and the twisted mind of a monster, while over all hang the frightening shadows of Bay's own past and the looming threat of a killer hurricane. All around her, from the beaches of Hilton Head to the fabled islands of the Carribean, the storm is rising . . .
