Produktbeschreibung

Kathryn "Kat" Jensen's new audit consulting job quickly becomes extremely dangerous. Investigating a notorious drug trafficker's bank accounts can lead to life-threatening complications!

When Kat Jensen, an out-of-work internal auditor in New York City, joins Melville Consulting, a friend's secretive investigative firm, she unravels the elaborate money-laundering scheme used by a drug lord nicknamed El Rey, or The King. Based on her analysis, the banks freeze his accounts. Furious, El Rey storms their office, threatening to kill her boss. The drug czar gets arrested, but Kat is badly shaken and wants to quit. Except auditing jobs aren't easy to find after she took a year off to go on an unusual bucket-list voyage, and now she is broke. Memories of Kat's brother, who lost the battle against drug addiction, and the much-needed paycheck convince her to try again. But when Kat unexpectedly meets El Rey, her life is in danger, since now he wants revenge.

PROJECT ONION features an unexpectedly resilient businesswoman who decides to fight back. This suspense novel blends crime, time travel, and romance with multiple twists and turns.
