"'Someone wants you dead ... ' Three years out of business school and working for a investment banker, Lynn Kowalchuk is a junior analyst whose job is to look for mistakes in merger and acquisition projects. Her latest two-week assignment is at a failing New Hampshire company being sold to a competitor. What Lynn doesn't know is that someone in that company has a scheme to illegally siphon millions of dollars from the sale. That person sees Lynn as the one person working on the deal who treats it seriously; looking for the 'deal killer' that could cause the buyer to walk away. Lynn needs to be sidelined. When her car is run off the road, Lynn's vague sense that 'something is wrong' sharpens into a full-blown search for both the fraud and its perpetrator. At the same time, State Trooper Lou Bergeron, who responded to the crash, decides to look further into Lynn's claim that the 'accident' was an attempt on her life. 'Deal Killer' takes you into the real world of investment banking. Not glamorous, billion-dollar deals done on private jets; this is the small, everyday deal, where the opportunity to line your pockets with a private 'golden parachute' is worth killing for -- if you think you can get away with it."--Author.
