Her close friend, special agent Michael Elliot is heartbroken.

What did Eva discover that cost her life and threatened the lives of others? What did it have to do with the astronomical auto insurance rates in Detroit?

Cynthia Hall is a native Detroiter and former Insurance executive that wrote a compelling novel of fiction about an insiders' struggle within the industry. I literally could not put the book down. It's an easy read and one I think anyone that owns auto insurance will find intriguing.
