The Boss's Wife

Young Jack Noble is a whiz with computers but a hopeless case when it comes to love. When he discovers a way to "borrow" from the bank whose IT department he runs, Jack thinks he's finally found a way to carve out a little security for himself and his ailing father... until a new boss who's just as tech-savvy comes along, forcing Jack to scramble to cover his tracks. Enter the boss's wife, an older woman of hypnotic beauty and irresistible charm. Is Jack her knight in shining armor or she his Jezebel? Suddenly he finds himself in over his head, shuffling accounts on a grander scale while losing himself in an affair that takes him beyond the pale, into situations populated by thugs and con men, fraught with violence and the threat of murder. The Boss's Wife is a wild ride that exposes the high life and lowlifes of 1990s L.A. while contemplating the nature of love, the power of sex and the sexiness of power.

"A classic roman noir, brilliantly imagined." Roderick Thorp, author of Die Hard.

"A tangle of sex, computer shenanigans, and a measure of murder that teases, tantalizes and titillates. Every surprise surprised me." David Westheimer, author of Von Ryan's Express.

"S.L. Stebel is a rich and elegant stylist, tough and tender, wise and erudite, who writes in the classic tradition of the best American crime novels." MacDonald Harris, author of Hemingway's Suitcase.
