Synopsis:
When Tom Burke dies skiing Aspen Mountain, his business partner, Garth Wainwright, must find his killer. Burke was murdered and he seeks the reason. Cautioned to leave the investigation to the authorities, Wainwright won’t let go. His two closest partners, Tom Shaw and Robert Keating don’t believe his suspicion of foul play. Searching for the killer, Wainwright uncovers a conspiracy within the company of millions of dollars embezzled from investors… and some partner involvement is probable. Whom can he trust?
Suddenly, a second partner is murdered. The fraud and the murders are connected and Shaw and Keating become believers and join Wainwright’s search for the killer. The Tipping Point will be the exposure of the fraud to the SEC, which will destroy the company; will shut it down. The company’s investors are not the only ones that will lose. Wainwright is concerned for his personal net worth and his safety because he knows that one of his partners is a killer.
Wainwright adds spice to an already flavorful mix when he falls in love with Lacey Kincaid, a former Boston criminal prosecutor. They devise a plan to smoke out the guilty partners, without exposing the fraud to the SEC or triggering an FBI investigation of the interstate homicides. A perilous dance of deception implements the complicated strategy. The plan forces the killer to surface … and then … another partner dies.
From the ski slopes of Aspen to the corporate board room in Seattle, murder and mayhem follow ten business partners who succumb in four assassinations, one suicide, and three bankruptcies, leaving Wainwright and Shaw to exorcise greed, complicity, and fraud in order to restructure the company to its former acclaim.

Review:
This is a solid thriller that kept my attention from beginning to end. This is a smartly written book with an iron-clad plot, believable characters and enough suspense to keep you reading into the wee hours of the morning. I blame Walter for my lack of sleep. (Thanks!) This is a great read, especially if you love suspense and thrillers. The cover leaves a lot to be desired. I think that if you spruced it up a bit with a new cover, you'd really draw in some suspense readers in need of a high-paced action thriller.
