Now it seems Meredith's last scam―embezzling more than a million dollars from a college endowment fund―is coming back to haunt Leonora Hutton. An email just arrived in which Meredith―in fear for her life―explains that the money is waiting for Leonora in an offshore account...and a safe-deposit key is on the way.Leonora wants nothing to do with the tainted money. She's already been accused of being in on the theft by Thomas Walker―who, it seems, was a victim of Meredith's knack for both scams and seductions. Eager to prove him wrong, Leonora sets out to collect the cash and hand it over.But she discovers two other items in the safe-deposit box.
