What happens when you lose your job of twenty years and have nothing to show for it?
MC returns home to Fish Camp, FL with nothing to show for twenty years at a job but a bribe, sometimes called a buyout. To escape moving in with her fortune telling spinster aunts, MC uses it to open a small tax office one town over in Boca Vista. It’s populated by rich but aging socialites facing replacement by younger and thinner trophy wives. In the world of taxes these women are known as Innocent Spouses and after years of marriage they want to make sure they don’t end up with nothing to show for it. Word out on the street is that MC can help them in that area.
Isn’t that what you did for a living with the Feds my dear?
Yes, but not exactly, MC wants to tell Babbs La-Fleur, the Queen of Boca Vista who shows up one day in her office and hires MC to find her bad boy husband Charlie. Queen Babbs figures MC could easily find him by following the paper trail Charlie left when he disappeared.
Joining Aunt Sophia and Aunt Anna in the family business of reading fortune telling cards begins to look good when the paper trail tracking Charlie takes an unexpected turn deep into the world of counter terrorism.
This novel will take you on a wild ride that will leave you laughing and crying at the same time and wanting for more in the end. Oh and then there’s Izzy!
