Kari Erntemann is a very mysterious person who will have you hooked on her story. As a strong and one of kind type woman she does not let a little break-up with the love of her life Jerry, get her down. Eventually as she sets out to do research on her story she finds Jerry, who is a reporter and is involved with her on this case. There are quite a few romantic scenes that spice this book up quite a bit.

There's adventure when Jerry and Kari have to follow the trail of the early twenty first century and the dot come bubble. Leo Foxe is a man who is determined to tell of his fathers infidelities to his mother, hoping to gain the business his father build from the ground.

There's a hot story associated with Leo Foxe and Jerry and Kari must figure out what that is which adds suspense, thrill and mystery. Right at her side is Aton von Flamberge, the man Kari was assigned to mentor.

Things start to backfire and the result is the lives of many. Read this book to find out just how Kari can track down the slippery murderer on the loose, who might just be after her next.

The only difficult part about this book is the European writing style, which I am just not accustomed to, but this does not make this a negative comment towards the book. I still rate this book a 5/5. ( )

Kari Erntemann and Jerry Peterson were both journalists. Jerry had been working on piece about immigrants taking over jobs from local residents of Europe. Failing in health, he retreated into seclusion.

Kari saw an article and immediately thought of Jerry and his work, except his name was not on the by-line. The theme, again, young engineers from India were taking over the IT jobs and getting their visa’s and papers pushed through extremely quickly.

Anton is Kari’s pupil for learning the ropes of journalism. Even though Kari is a freelance journalist, she was requested to teach Anton. Anton is hard working and did anything and everything Kari asked of him.

Dan Mandeville had been working hard to make ends meet, but his anger over the potential job loss to foreigners was overwhelming. Dan knew his job and did not like the newcomers coming in with so little knowledge.

How were these Asians coming in and finding jobs so fast? Leo Foxe had made a living of finding the right people to fill jobs quickly and at quite a savings to the employers for payroll.

Lots of irrelevant details about the countryside, landscaping, etc. It’s ok to have a description or two of where you are, but there was a bit much of this. Needed to be more focused on the who and the why. Dan’s character seemed so irrelevant to the story for quite a while, I had to read quite a bit to understand his importance. While you get a good understanding of each character, it takes a good part of the book to see how they all fit together into one story. The true motive is Kari and her journalistic instinct to dig deeper into the facts to get the true story and reveal it. ( )
