The Ridinghood Getaway

Ridinghood Corporation, facing the unexplained disappearance of their Chief Executive Officer and red-flagged tax returns, has both the police and the IRS investigating. Parish Stenopolis is fearful of what this will do to the company and consequently her position as head accountant, a position she has attained through many years of work. She still has a seventeen-year-old son to finance through college. She has been given the responsibility to assist the IRS forensic auditor, Blayze Pashasia. Blayze has also been enlisted by Lieutenant Davy Sarkis to keep his eyes and ears open relative to the missing executive.
As they begin the investigation they determine not only one but three people are missing from Ridinghood. One is a member of the computer team, the other a gossipy employee related to the company owner. Problems escalate when one of the three is found dead, murdered. Blayze uncovers suspicious activity in the company investment account and begins following the money trail, which takes them to the seaside resort at Ocean Shores and eventually moves off-shore.
Making an effort not to antagonize the accountant, a costly mistake he made in a previous assignment, Blayze encounters resistance bordering on horror. Accustomed to intimidating people as an agent of the IRS, he is at a loss to explain Parish's reaction when he realizes it has nothing to do with his employer.
