More About This Book

Overview

Harriet Locke, Atherton Investment Bank's prestigious Vice President, just killed a man. She needed to hide, yet she was compelled to race to the office to finish up some paperwork. Somehow, she knew that the Tontine Trust under her care had become a prize sought after by Nevada’s Ciccone cartel. She was having ‘inspirations.’ Would anyone believe Harriet could really prophesize? Or were hers just lucky guesses and hunches? Harriet’s ragtag rescue squad comprising her granddaughter, Aleta, and Aleta’s new-found cohort, Ed the detective, were armed with only the bare bones of a plan hastily conceived by Harriet. Could the love of dogs and showing really build the trust needed to protect the last survivors of the Tontine from the Ciccone’s plot? And were the Ciccones really the only threat?

Contrasting a frantic race against time with the studied pace of ordinary suburban living, The Reluctant Prophet offers a different style of suspense where everyday lives are catapulted unexpectedly into the mayhem of murder and corruption. The concerns pile up from Oakland to Chicago as lives are on the line, money is at stake, and faith is tested—not just faith in God but also faith in one another. Can faulty humans really foil the prophesies or the Mob? Not just a book for dog lovers, The Reluctant Prophet offers a lively and sometime humorous read for anyone who enjoys a good underdog story.
