Three Little Birds: A Thriller

When an investigation into a prestigious investment firm in Washington, D.C. turns deadly, Sally Raines, a reformed forensic accountant with an unusual edge, must expose a multimillion-dollar fraud and stop the men who will kill to keep it secret. A childhood spent in silence taught Sally to read lips—and people. It kept her alive, but there were consequences. After prison, she rebuilt her life with a master’s degree and a small forensic accounting firm, a quiet second chance she refuses to waste. Hired to vet a “can’t-miss” investment in a blue-chip firm, Sally and her partners—Navi, a brilliant hacker, and Cricket, her former cellmate and a street-born protector with a big heart—peel back the polish and find rot underneath: duplicate ledgers, falsified returns, and a cover-up protected by money and power. But the fraud is only the beginning. Their discovery triggers a ruthless retaliation: a mentor’s home is ransacked, a professor is stabbed, a kidnapping goes violently wrong.
