Dr. Genevieve Lenard may be an expert in nonverbal communication but she's also autistic. High functioning, but nevertheless, autistic with all the quirks that go with it, including relying on computer skills in an almost solitary work space to do her job. She's an insurance investigator. She has only a few people she trusts, including her boss.So when one day he asks her a favor -- to help one of his friends in a case of missing military weapons -- she agrees reluctantly. And that throws her into situations far from her comfortable environment. Not only at work, but at home.A stranger breaks into her secure apartment and turns her life upside down. He's after the same thing she is: some of his artist friends have died and he thinks it's tied in with her new assignment.Her reading of him tells her to trust him. And that leads her to trust his friend, a criminal type he enlists as her bodyguard and cook. Rather than analyzing and reporting on people, Genevieve has to learn to deal with them personally.But in the end, that may save her life when the people she's tracing turn out to be more than dangerous.A nice, easy read. Light at times but very entertaining.
