Welcome to the Bart Northcote book series. In Winchester’s Bargain, Bart Northcote Series 4 by Murray Lee Eiland Jr., we are invited into the adventurous life of Private Investigator (PI) Bart Northcote. Initially, Bart’s agency was a one-man operation, but now it has turned into a full service investigation agency. With people like Salome Jones, a six-foot-seven-inch computer whiz; Mrs. Bowen, whose specialty is in international finance; and Wanda Malone, ex-FBI and a highly trained operative, Bart believed that they were ready for anything ... until Mr. Winchester Lee, an impeccably dressed man walked in. Mr. Lee wanted Bart’s agency to become entrenched in the operation of the Golden Dragons that had made trillions of dollars on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for the past 15 years, and now had the power to influence the NYSE outcome. Mr. Lee felt that the Golden Dragons had a conspiracy to cripple the economy, but could Bart trust the true interests of Mr. Lee or was there something else behind it? Bart wanted to know what Mr. Lee’s true motive was, and could his agency take on this type of job? Would this be easy money, as it seems, or will he be risking the lives of his team.
