DEEDS OF TRUST by Victor Wuamett
200 pages
It's annoying: Chase Randel's real estate clients keep dying before they can
pay his commission. This time it's retired school principal Frank Baker; he's
put his life savings into buying "distressed" condos from a powerful investment
group, and when the deal goes sour he asks Chase to bail him out. It's a
complicated and unpleasant task, but well worth the effort when Baker
guarantees Chase a six-figure commission. While Chase halts the foreclosure
proceedings on Baker's property, Baker is busy falling out of the eighth floor
window of the Silicon Investment Group building--the company that set up the
deal. When Baker's widow offers Chase the same arrangement, he accepts. But now
the stakes are higher. Baker's fall, originally labelled a suicide, was in fact
a reaction to cyanide poisoning. With help from reporter Molly Gish, Chase once
again dives into the shady underworld of real estate.
