Lust Money Murder is a story of intrigue that carries Elaine Brogen from Pittsburgh to Washington to Europe as a Secret Service agent hot on the trail of money counterfeiters.This three part story first takes the reader through Elaine's training and to her first assignment in a small out of the way office in the U.S. where she deals with a none-to-pleasant boss. Then it's off to Europe where she meets the enigmatic Nick. While at the field office in Bulgaria under Nick's watchful eye, Elaine hones her already natural ablitiy to spot counterfeit money and her reputation for finding the most elusive flaws brings her to the attention of powerful men. Nick shows her the ropes... and more, but the budding romance is not to be as she is swept away, back to Washington.Book two takes the reader through Elaine's painful realization that she's been played by the best and must now flee her pursuers to avoid fatal trouble. Dangerous criminals, wild car chases and seductive men, all expertly, concisely and crisply written by the author to take the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotion and imagery.Book three concludes the story as Elaine uses her intelligence to fetter out the criminals, find the counterfeiters, battle her moral conscience and eventually rise above to bring all to justice...one way or another.Words that come to mind are engaging, exciting, thrilling, adventurous and climactic. The books have many twists and turns that will keep you wanting more.The only thing I would have like to have seen is more backstory on Nick. Other than that there was everything to like and not much to dislike.It was well written and I look forward to the next in the series. Way to go Mike!
