Marie Gardner, reclusive forensic accountant, finds herself dealing with a new type of puzzle: the murder of a wealthy art-collecting professor. To find answers, she’ll have to step away from her files and ledgers and focus on people–the professor’s estranged family, tormented graduate students, and his old disobliging friends. Forced to work with a team, Marie is challenged by an unwanted office crush, training a new hire, and proving to her boss that she’s capable of more than paperwork-all while hiding a secret behind her high fashion looks that if discovered, it could end her career.
