Montecito: Where having it all sometimes means having the most to hide.

For a smart guy, Hollis Crawford has certainly fouled things up. He moved his family to California’s wealthiest town, endorsed his wife’s transition from lucrative executive to non-profit volunteer, and then got fired—not once, not twice, but three times. Now, with his savings drained and employment options dwindling, he is desperate for one more chance to keep his family afloat.

 Which is why the Wimby family—Montecito’s latest imported millionaires—seem heaven sent. Along with a sprawling mansion, a winery, and a stable of horses, Cyrus Wimby is starting a new business, and he just so happens to be looking for an hungry executive like Hollis. It’s a golden opportunity arriving in the nick of time. What could go wrong?

“Montecito, CA: home to billionaires, royalty, golden rays, and lapping waves. Oh, and con artists, security fraudsters, and the occasional Eastern European gangster. All of it comes together seamlessly in this suspenseful, witty, rip-roaring read. First rate entertainment.”

– Paul Levine, #1 Bestselling Author of Early Grave

"Cox sensitively and intelligently explores Hollis’ vulnerabilities, and out of that perceptive psychological profile spins a gripping crime drama. This is an engrossing story, both thoughtful and exciting. A marvelously entertaining suspense tale."
