It is a story of Christopher Parker and co-workers, and family members. Someone is trying to sabotage him and his business. Everytime I thought I figured it out something else would happen. He has his nephew, and his friend helping him. There is also a writer for the Discloser Daily Tribune helping out too. In the end its the last one I expected. I hope Lillian will write some more books like this.I cant wait to read some more of her books. It was a great book.&quot; <br /></span></div><div style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="size10 Helvetica10"><strong></strong><br /></span></div><div style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"><br /></div>
