Sex Lies Murder — Allan McLeod

Against a backdrop of professional escorts, blackmail, and money-laundering, powerful bankers, lawyers, and politicians plot the destruction of four successful women. Beautiful and smart Alexia Beaumont, wife of banker Hart Beaumont, Connecticut's richest and most powerful resident, uncovers information about her husband's bank and his advisors. She has to be stopped. Unpredictable and captivating Molly Ogden, a top New York City bank executive, has played the dangerous game of ascending to the pinnacle of private banking, by attaching her fortunes to a personal relationship with the head of the Russian mafia. How far can he let her go? Driven to success, Angela Parsons is a top executive of one of the largest banks in the world, New York-based Park Avenue Global. Amid rumors of connections to the Italian mob, she has climbed over many bodies to attain her success, and is marked for payback. Paige Harrington, former world-class model, and now a crack investigative journalist, is asked to assist a special task force investigation, digging for dirt without sending powerful bankers and politicians scurrying for cover. She soon becomes the primary target.
