About the Book

Brooks Pierce, President of the Edgewater Hardware Company, wouldn’t lift a finger to answer the phone. Incensed by the lack of cooperation, he walked into his secretary’s office and found her slumped over her desk. He yelled out to his salesman to assist, but they wouldn’t help, not lunatic Brooks Pierce.

He rushed into the reception room and yelled at Laura Fortnight to call the cops and ambulance, but prim Laura Fortnight was painting her nails and couldn’t care less. Laura, who was an undercover cop, was commissioned to Edgwater to find out why the business was losing millions of dollars.

Her friendship and affair with the police commissioner ended rather abruptly because he refused to marry her. Laura resigned from the force, called her old friend and mentor, Sam Watsky, and together they formed the W&W Investigative Services. Laura, who was a whiz at electronics, had the entire office wired. She met many obstacles on the way to solving the problem and it took many hours of outdoor surveillance to finally come up with a plan. They would hold a seminar for the entire Edgewater Company and invite guests to expose the leader and his troupe who were so heavily involved in bilking millions from the company. While exposing them, her true identity was finally revealed to the perpetrators.
