The Last Invitation

The Sophie Foundation is a secret group of women who meet on the second Tuesday of every month. Over wine and cheese they go through files on men who behave very badly, then vote on what happens to them. After the vote, someone dies.

For several years, prominent men have died in what look like fluke accidents and sudden suicides. Among them are a retired diplomat, a beloved basketball coach and the CEO of a vast company. Nothing links the deaths and nothing points to foul play.

Jessa Hall receives an invitation to join at the lowest point of her life. After years of fighting to get ahead, she wants control back and a chance to see the bad guys lose. Once inside, she learns how far she is willing to go, and that members cannot leave.

With no one else to turn to, Jessa approaches Gabby Fielding, a former friend who is looking into the death of her ex-husband. They share a goal, to bring down the Foundation, but they do not trust each other. Neither is certain to live long enough to tell the truth.

This is a twisty suspense novel about vigilante justice, with a tense mood and a growing sense of being trapped.
