An Option On Death

Someone was in the market for murder. After 10 years of drifting in and out of Emerson Ward\'s life, it looked as though Jessica Pearson was there to stay. But only a few hours after her arrival, a bullet crashing through a window kills her, and Emerson\'s dreams as well. An accident, the police say, but Emerson knows better. Someone wanted Jessica dead; now he wants to find out who, and why. The place to start? Jessica\'s suitcase stuffed with cash and stock transaction receipts.
