Escaping Pretense
O ovoj e-knjizi
Pretense Abdicator is whip-smart, socially awkward and angry. When passed over for a well-deserved promotion at the prestigious financial firm of Crawford Spectrum, she hatches a get-even plan. Embezzle money from her wealthiest clients, assume a new identity, and flee the country.
With over $2 million stashed in an offshore bank account under an alias, Pretense is certain she has pulled off the perfect crime. Only one more money transfer and she is home free. But on September 11, 2001, she is summoned to her manager's office on the eighty-ninth floor of the World Trade Center. As her boss and the FBI are confronting her with ironclad evidence of embezzlement, a passenger plane hits the North Tower and Pretense makes a run for it.
Left with only the clothes on her back and the master key tucked inside the locket dangling from her neck, she must escape the burning building before it’s too late. Can she make it?
Inspired by the real-life tragedy of 9/11, this fascinating tale of deception and redemption will hold you in its grip as the story beautifully unfolds along the path of self-discovery.
