Soft Focus

About the Book

Beth Brody is a successful Hollywood CPA, whose egoistic, unfl inching honesty gets her into trouble with bend-the-rules clients who see the world differently. When Beth tangles with the Russian Mafi a in America, she jeopardizes the safety of her family as she doggedly pursues her investigation. Beth is tough, smart, and beautiful, very different from her mother Sarah, a dowdy postal worker, but feisty as her grandmother Ida. Although disaffected by family secrets and barely disguised animus, three generations of provocative women join forces when Beth fi nds herself coping with money laundering, kidnapping, LAPD corruption, threats, murder and unexpected romance.
