About this title

Synopsis

Welcome to Corporate America. Where the CEOs make millions and the peons get squeezed. Where power corrupts and a seven-figure bonus may be worth killing for. Where even San Francisco P.I. Jeri Howard finds herself dangerously outmaneuvered--and in treacherous company.

When Jeri Howard's new client, Rob Lawter, takes a header through his living room window soon after he's hired her, Jeri is in a quandary. Lawter, a paralegal at Bates, Inc., a food-processing firm, had received a threatening anonymous note, sent because he was about to blow the whistle on some serious corporate cover-up.

Since Jeri has already cashed the check, she feels she owes her dead, probably murdered, client his money's worth. So she goes undercover in Bates's legal department, determined to expose Lawter's killer. What Jeri finds is that murder tops this corporation's agenda, as employees pay the ultimate price to keep a deadly health scare out of the media.

This is a novel very much of our times--drawn from today's headlines about food safety and contaminated product recalls. In Where the Bodies Are Buried, Janet Dawson pits Jeri Howard against an all-to-real menace that threatens us all--and the result is a purely frightening read.
