Dot Com, the new novel by S.F. Cardwell, explores the impact of an Enron-like accounting scandal on the lives and relationships of its key players. Financial issues are a backdrop for intrigues driven by greed and a lust for power, pitting an American business against Japanese criminal elements.
Jim Ross started his dot com company seven years ago, and it is doing well. But an SEC investigation and an "accounting irregularity" destroy the stock price and threaten its existence. The problems get worse when someone tries to kill two of his people, and the controller responsible for the mess disappears.
Liz Melfi is burned out and lost, and her life gets worse. Her husband is blamed for the dot com company problems and fired. Jim Ross holds the solution to her problems, and she to his. But it takes an FBI investigation and Jim's new girlfriend to put the pieces together.
