CLP Blog Tours Sign Up: Deadly Assets by Wendy Tyson

Allison Campbell’s latest clients seem worlds apart in every respect.
Rooted in Italian nobility, schooled abroad, the aging Francesca Benini is thrust into the corporate limelight when her brother suffers a stroke and she becomes the new head of Benini Enterprises. Her family insists she decline the role, but Francesca, determined to leave her crumbling New York Finger Lakes mansion for the first time in decades, turns to Allison for help.
Tammy “Swallow” Edwards is a newly discovered eighteen-year-old pop singer from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Music producers see star potential, but the gangly, rough spoken Tammy must first transform from a swallow into a swan. And that’s where Allison comes in.
When both clients disappear on the same day–and Allison’s business manager, Christopher Vaughn, is the last to have seen each–Allison races to find her clients and clear Vaughn’s name. Her search uncovers an intricate web of family secrets, corporate transgressions, and an age-old rivalry that crosses continents. The closer Allison gets to the truth, the deadlier her quest becomes. All paths lead back to the sinister Benini estate and the suicide of a woman thirty years ago. Allison soon realizes that the lives of two clients and the safety of those closest to her aren’t the only things at stake.
