Description
Robert Scroyle C.A., is the senior partner at Scroyle, Caitiff, Rudisbe and Spavin. He is married, has a girlfriend or two and is no stranger to a shady tax strategy that's just this side of legal. Now life is about to get a lot more complicated.
Renzo Villiago is the founder of Ravishing Cosmetics, one of Scroyle's most important clients. He has to find a business to buy that will solve what he sees as an accounting problem.
Agustinho Bastinhado is an underworld figure with a big problem: too much cash. He has to hide it somewhere fast. Scroyle has to make both men happy or lose his business, maybe even his life.
In a story that plays out on the streets of Montreal and in boardrooms populated by characters who are eerily familiar to anyone who's ever been in a downtown office building, Scroyle's life spins out of control and begins to unravel. Kidnapping, undercover police operations, the netherworld of organized crime, a love story gone sour--this is not what a man who deals in certainties is meant to deal with.
About the author
Richard King owned Paragraph Bookstore in Montreal and is a former President of the Canadian Booksellers Association. His first novel, That Sleep of Death, was on the Gazette bestseller list for nine weeks. In his spare time, King does Bikram Yoga, runs with a group from the Westmount Running Room and volunteers in the Emergency Department at the Jewish General Hospital. He insists most of the characters in Accounting for Crime are fictitious.
