Fatal Equity

A cry for help from an old friend starts Paula, Eleanor, Jean, and Alice - the Garden Club Gang - investigating Senior Equity Lending Solutions, a company specializing in reverse mortgages for the elderly. Aiding them once again is insurance investigator Samantha Ayers.To get close to Senior Equity, the Gang needs a cover: a showroom for a fictitious company selling fancy French linens on the internet.Even as the Gang begins to document the scam at the center of Senior Equity - that the firm is deliberately pushing its customers into foreclosure - there's a problem: their website is drawing a flood of business. Ignoring the orders could tip Senior Equity to the Gang's true purpose, so they have a crash course in importing Proven al fabrics. But one person inside Senior Equity begins to suspect that the 'little old ladies' are more than they appear.Fatal Equity is a fun, fast-paced mystery with an appealing cast of characters. It's also an immersion into the world of reverse mortgages... and fine French placemats.
