one woman and three men, Open · Ashworth Vane
Held to Account
Somebody finished her reconciliation overnight. Every variance cleared, in a hand that was not hers. In the morning, he told her it was him.
Forensic accountant Laura Pennick has four weeks and a £48,000 fee to review a £23.6 million write-down for Ashworth Vane, the Leeds firm whose money reaches further than anyone's. A stranger in her working papers is what ends a career. Edward Mallin, the partner who decides, tells her plainly: it took him four hours, he wanted her to see how easily she could be helped, and she can take her full fee and walk away today.
She stays.
The attention that follows is open and in the room: the car at the kerb at eleven, food sent up unasked, a big silent man at the far end of her table for an hour. Then she finds £3.1 million buried in the numbers, paid out the same week 140 drivers were let go unpaid.
Three men who can make a file say anything could end her career in an afternoon. She is going to name the money anyway. What she will not give back is being helped.
Perfect for fans of K.A. Knight and Ana Huang.
