The Gift

by John Truman Wolfe

Overview

The valet at Beverly Hills National Bank is a saucy red head dressed in hot pants, a tux jacket and high heels. No surprise given the bank’s celebrity clientele and super-sized account balances.
When the deposit base starts to shrink and earnings fall after playboy CEO, Jim Robbins refuses to sell the bank to an undisclosed investor group, he chalks it up to a recent earthquake in the Valley.
But when break-ins ensue, which baffle the police, Robbins enlists the services of Tom McKenna, a Berkeley based private eye who happens to be in Los Angeles seeing his lady love, Karen Sanchez. Sanchez, the owner of a music industry PR firm, is both a customer of the bank and a friend of Robbins.
