Surely You Jest: . . . laughs, crimes, schemes and jealousy - in other words, a real love story

This is a laugh-filled story about scheming, stealing, love and devotion to family. You might wonder how such a plot could be so funny. Well, just read, and you'll be treated as well to international suspense, because stealing is an international pastime these days.

Darrell Kleve is a single parent. He's also the investment chief at a prominent Boston firm and the author of a book on the New York Times best-seller list. That has made him a favorite on the speaking circuit in both America and Europe.

As if that weren't enough, two beautiful women are throwing themselves at him. Melanie Toland and Patty Gray. They are very different, but they have one thing in common: nasty motives.

Patty has dirty secrets, but so does Darrell. Melanie is of questionable character and is in a position to bring down Darrell, and Patty too.
