PAYBACK
Join Kimberly, Cameron and Kate as they unravel the twists and turns in this clever crime caper. When Kim and Kate paid a visit to Los Angeles, she never dreamed the three of them would become involved in going undercover to help crack an ingenious drug money laundering scheme. Ever since Cameron Harsen was fired by voicemail after ten years with the Century City advertising firm of Reid/Cunningham years before, she vowed she would get even with them. Desperate for a job, she had gone to work as a marketing rep for the division of the Federal Association of Criminal Reform that manufactured furniture in Federal prisons. That’s where she met Kimberly Martin and Kate Steel. Together the three amateur sleuths brought down a huge embezzlement scam and were still best friends. Fast forward to the present. Now Cami has her own award-winning advertising firm one floor above Reid/Cunningham, and payback time was in progress. She was out for revenge and put all of her talent into stealing their accounts right and left. She even won a prestigious ADDY award. But, her former bosses weren’t taking it sitting down. Every time another of their clients switched to Harsen Advertising Associates, Tyler Cunningham, the old goat, tried to make life miserable for her. As if that wasn’t enough, when Kim came to visit from D.C. and Kate from San Francisco, their agendas were far more than just a friendly visit. Before she knew it, Cami’s problems took a back seat. Kim was in town for an undercover assignment to try to trap the head honcho of a multi-million dollar Rojas Cartel money laundering scheme. Kate, now the CEO of Fraud Busters, was hot on the trail of a new fraud and in meetings for a movie about her life story. Can it get any crazier? You bet it can. The three friends find themselves knee-deep in danger when Kim convinces them to team up like they did a few years back and help with her undercover assignment for Homeland Security. It’s scams, intrigue, mayhem and murder all over again for the sleuthing trio in this third book in the series..

Payback (Revenge is Fun Book 3) - Review by Martha A. Cheves
"I was pretty far away, but it looked like she was going toward her car when - and I swear this is what I saw - that idiot just speeded up and smacked right into her. Saw the body fly up in the air even though I was a ways away. Whoever it was kept driving like the wind. Outta sight in a flash."... Kate was standing beside us. She whispered, "I'm afraid that's the woman I was supposed to meet. She left before I got there. She called me. I'll tell you what happened, but I think we still have to cover ourselves. Follow my lead in case anyone is watching us."
Meet Cameron Harsen, Kimberly Martin and Kate Steele. They were all part of a marketing arm of the Federal Association of Corrections Reform (FACR). All three made a fortune when they uncovered a massive embezzlement ripoff. Kim stayed with FACR and became the Director of Marketing and married the US Attorney General. Cameron started her own advertising company. And Kate formed a website she called FraudBusters, plus she has a movie in the works that will show the world how these three made it to where they are today.
This book is full of mystery, suspense, plus as always with this author, humor. These three women seem to just fall into trouble, even without looking for it. But when someone Cameron used to work with is murdered and the US Government has an informant within their wiretapping headquarters, the girls take action and bring the bad guys, and gals, to justice. I loved the story, as much as the way it's written. This book is a stand alone but for the fun of it, go back and read the first two books in the series, Getting Even and Ripoff, to bring these characters into their true lights.
