The Deposit Slip by Todd M. Johnson


Back Cover:

$10,000,000 Is Missing.

Erin Larson is running out of options. In the wake of her father's death, she found a slim piece of paper--a deposit slip--with an unbelievable amount on it. Only the bank claims they have no record of the money, and trying to hire a lawyer has brought only intimidation and threats. Erin's last chance is Jared Neaton.

How Far Will One Lawyer Go to Find the Money?

When Jared wearied of the shady ethics of his big law firm and started his own, he never expected the wheels to fly off so quickly. One big loss has pushed him to the brink, and it's all he can do to scrape by.

And How Far Will Someone Go to Stop Him?

He's not sure if Erin's case is worth the risk, but if the money is real, all his problems could vanish. When digging deeper unleashes something far more dangerous than just threats, both Jared and Erin must decide the cost they're willing to pay to discover the truth.


Review:

The Deposit Slip was a great mystery novel, with unexpected twists and turns I could not see coming.

I was hooked by the story immediately, as mystery started to unfold. The way the novel was written was terrific, by giving the reader a somewhat overall big picture view of the story, yet still not revealing the entire mystery. I found myself becoming more and more engaged in the story.

I don’t normally read legal fiction, but The Deposit Slip was terrific. It had the right proportion of courtroom and mystery solving. All the legal jargon was explained, without feeling like it was a dictionary.

I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the story. I really enjoyed the plot twists I didn’t anticipate, keeping me hooked on the novel.

I was drawn into the book, and couldn’t put it down – the tell tale sign of a story well done. Todd M. Johnson did a fabulous job.
