Two Million Reasons: Smith and Westen Mysteries, Book 3

Take $2 million in bank securities.Add a bank manager who moonlights as a magician. Blend well, then add: - A nagging shrew of a wife- A high-maintenance daughter in debt up to her ears- A TV talk show husband who foots too many of the family's bills- A down-to-earth daughter, seemingly baffled by them all>And it's clear, Gabe Heinz has two million reasons to disappear. He is in the middle of his vanishing act on stage when he does just that-vanish before a sell-out crowd-along with two million in securities from the bank where he's vice president. His daughter is distraught-and a prime suspect-not just by the FBI, but by her nagging shrew of a mother. Insurance recovery team Smith and Westen are up to their ears in movers determined to demolish every stick of furniture in their new home. It's almost a relief when a recovery job takes them to Los Angeles. Hunky bodyguard Ryan Ames is supposed to meet them at LAX. Instead, a gun-wielding lunkhead with a fondness for roughing up women escorts them to a mobster who claims they now work for him. When they locate the securities-and they'd better, or else-can they keep them from the mobster?
