Description
""Dominic, you are going to be approached to take on an investigation you would normally decline. Regardless of how it is presented, or emotionally couched, or whose flag it is wrapped in; you should decline the opportunity. But in your father-in-law Abe's," He gestured with an open hand to his right. "and my opinion, along with our primary clients at I. Brown and Company; we believe you must accept this RCRW commission."I gave Barb's hand a gentle squeeze as we sat in one of our deck swings looking at our fathers who were seated across from us in wicker patio chairs separated by a matching end table. Barb looked up at me and immediately to Gio and Miriam to my right on the second deck swing."Tell us why we must accept a job we should decline. Based on our previous work for the International Special Task Force on the Root Causes and Repercussions of Wars they are secretive, but pay well and let us do the job our way. Unless the task, that Mr. Barr will request, is illegal or not within the prevue of our expertise; why shouldn't we? I. Brown and Company's 25% cut helps pay your New York City rents."Dominic, husband of my youngest daughter, that is why you must take the commission and why you shouldn't. The task is not illegal. He will give you four names, no more, and ask you to report on their relationship. You may reasonably assume the names are in some way connected to the root causes and repercussions of war. We have not seen the list of names. We only know he will ask you to complete an unbiased investigation, because he asked us if I Brown and Company would do such an investigation." A Red Herring is the 5th novel in the Barbara and Dominic series."
