Black Monday Mystery
Black Monday by William Manchee
Have read other series from this author and loved the books, enough that I went and bought the other 2 in the series.
Starts out 1987 black Monday for the stock market. He's involved in many things going on, an executor for an old woman who has passed away and the proceeds will go towards her dogs, another needs IRS to unfreeze his accounts or a man overseas could die...
Like the family time at home and the kids interactions. Alternating chapters about other cases using a male/female narrators.
Female narrated portions are about Paula, Stan's partner at the business and she's handling a murder trail.
Really good read, wish I had read it from the first in the series but I didn't feel left out as they told us what we needed to know about their past working together.
Stan Turner has always dislike Mondays since his clients has the weekends to think ...

This starts off on the infamous Black Monday October 19, 1987 when the stock market fell.
Stan Turner has always dislike Mondays since his clients has the weekends to think up questions. He probably should have stayed away that fatal Monday but it is too late now.
He finds himself asked by the CIA to help an operative unravel an IRS garnishment and ends up being caught between the CIA and the FBI. Stan then finds himself the executor of Lottie West who has no surviving relatives but who died in a suspicious manner and that she and her deceased husband was rumored to have stolen art. Then a visit by his law partner that she wants to defend a man accused of killing the chairman of one of the troubled thrifts.
We watch Stan as he uncovers information which leads him to get hurt along the way as he travel to DC and find corruption by government and people in power. A riveting read as we are drawn into the story and the characters.
Settle down to a good mystery from an excellent writer
I became a fan of William Manchee with his novel Plastic Gods. One of the tightest plots and best writing styles I had seen in quite a while I indicated that it would have been one of the best fiction books of the year except for such poor editing that it only received an average review. It appears that his editing problems are resolved with another publisher and his strong style shows through in this novel as well. The scene is set on Black Monday, October 19, 1987. As the stock market crashes and bank after bank collapses the hero, Stan Turner, is asked to unravel a small IRS problem for an FBI agent.
