About The Missing Client (Jocelyn Bennett Crime Thriller)

Jocelyn Bennett is seeking a fresh start to her career after a high-profile scandal. She’s out on her own, and things are looking up. That is, until her first client disappears, dragging her into a web of deceit, old grudges, and murder. Meet Jocelyn Bennett. The twenty-six-year-old Los Angeles CPA loves ’80s music, gourmet sandwiches, and hanging out at the beach. But these things won’t pay the bills. Forced to start over after her boss was arrested for committing fraud, she sets up a small forensic accounting firm, investigating financial misconduct and irregularities. Her first client is Len, her landlord who once bailed her out of a dangerous situation. After the initial meeting, Len vanishes. A man claiming to be Len’s nephew arrives, convinced Len gave Jocelyn something that belongs to him. Something he’ll do anything to get back. Except Jocelyn doesn’t know what he’s talking about. And he’s not the only one searching for it either. Jocelyn wasn’t looking for trouble when she opened her accounting firm, but now it’s found her. With the odds stacked against her and enemies closing in, Jocelyn is determined to do what appears more impossible by the day—to rescue the man who once saved her. Jocelyn knows she must find her missing client before she’s the next to vanish without a trace. For fans of Mary Higgins Clark and Sue Grafton. Krystal Powers’ fast-paced debut novel is a new addition to the thriller genre.
