ⓘ About Cate Holahan

The story is narrated with two storylines intertwined together. Ryan’s investigation in November and December is intermixed with Ana and Tom Bacon’s decision made in October to defraud the insurance company by taking the risk of huge policies while at the same time faking Tom’s death. Ryan Manahan, a retired Financial Crimes officer, turned a private investigator after being shot in hand. His knowledge is specialized in mathematics and statistics that come in mind most of the time.
