Murder, Mayhem and a Savage Battle of Wits

Retired architect and former felon Victor Harding wants nothing more than a quiet retirement. But Victor and his quirky family have made many enemies in their prior lives as con artists, thieves and fences. Now assorted victims―including Yakuza gang lords, scam victims, burglary ring leaders, and Venezuelan drug cartels―are coming for them, all bent on exacting revenge.

As targets of prior cruel attacks from their enemies, the Harding family craves revenge of its own, aware that the best defense must be a strong offense. When the drama escalates in the Hardings’ peaceful lakeside community, Victor’s family assembles a colorful team of cops, crooks, security guards and professional assassins to fend off their enemies’ assaults. As the adversaries square off and danger lurks around every corner, everything comes down to one life-and-death question.

Who will get the best revenge?

A Search for Family or a Search for a Killer?

Amanda Beckwith, a professional home organizer and recovering alcoholic, is finally getting her life together when one of her clients fires her and threatens to sue. With two years of sobriety teetering on the edge, along with her dwindling bank account and the patience of friends and family worn thin by years of chaos, she has few people to call on for help.

Desperate for connection, and with a sudden influx of free time, she turns to a local social media app called Neighborly, hoping to find a distant relative or a new friend. She thinks she may have found both in new-to-town Rachel Beckwith, and the two agree to meet after a few phone calls.

After Rachel repeatedly cancels their plans, this time claiming she’s ill, Amanda stops by her house to check on her. But when she arrives, Rachel is dead.

Fighting an uphill battle to once again prove her innocence, Amanda must get to the bottom of her secretive cousin’s life. She is quickly tangled in a web of deceit—and dangerously close to a killer.
