    Snapping her head up,Bethanyglared across Lisa's deadly still body at Maxine. "Who does Claudia know that works for that agency?"

    Morgan's cellular phone rang insistently. Hell! Someone had been trying repeatedly to reach him for the past hour. It had to be Dane Carmichael. He'd told his boss to use his cell phone number if he needed to get in touch with him on business. His gut instincts warned him that he already knew what this phone call was about.
    Picking up the green garden hose, Morgan sprayed the soap suds off his Ferrari. The telephone stopped ringing. Morgan grunted. He reached down on the paved driveway and grabbed a large, tattered towel, then began slowly, methodically drying off his car. Not once since he bought the sleek, black Ferrari had he allowed anyone else to drive it or wash it. This beauty was his baby, and he treated it with tender, loving care.

    The phone rang again. Morgan grinned. Dane wouldn't give up until he reached him. No wonder Sam Dundee had turned the reins of his agency over to the man. Not only wasCarmichaelintelligent, aggressive and levelheaded, but he possessed a bulldog tenaciousness that didn't allow him to give up—ever.

    "Something tells me that you already know why I'm calling."
    "You're a smart man."
    "So, you're accepting the assignment."
    "What assignment?" Morgan ran the soft cloth over the shiny hood, taking special care as he moved down and over the headlights.
    "Don't be a smart-ass," Dane said. "Maxine Carson, from Kane, Walker andCarsoncalled me at the crack of dawn this morning. She wants to hire you as an investigator and a bodyguard for Bethany Wyndham. You do know Mrs. Wyndham, don't you? According to Ms. Carson, the woman is related to you."
    "Mrs. Wyndham is my cousin Amery's widow." And the only woman who's ever meant a damn thing to me.
    "Well, it sounds as if she's gotten herself into a hell of a mess. And according to Ms. Carson, your mother is quite certain that you will want to handle the case personally."
    "My mother is wrong," Morgan said. "I think it would be better if you send Hawk or Denby. Or do the job yourself."
    "What's the problem?" Dane asked. "Do you think you're too close to the situation to be effective?"
    "Something like that."
    "All right then. I'll phone Ms. Carson and tell her you've declined and that if she'd like, I can have Hawk on the first
