A golden opportunity that ends in disaster. Many "well-to-do" people have had depressing thoughts and suicidal tendencies -- not knowing who to turn to or confide in. They believe an outward show of success will solve their problems and subdue their inner demons, but "achieving it all" and "having it all" fail to erase that nagging emotional pain. Daniel J. Smith tried a few times to end his life, but failed, and finally he thought: "Maybe there's a reason I'm still here". Read his troubling story in 'THE CONTRACT: Murder in The Bahamas', book 5 of the Cornelius Saga Series. EACH BOOK IN THIS SERIES CAN STAND ALONE. * * * *Mira Cullen is prompted to fly out to The Bahamas to meet a man her brother Wade must introduce her to. Daniel Smith believes it's providence that a chance encounter with Wade has resulted in him meeting the one person who could possibly bring to light and put to rest an age-old mystery involving his beloved mother. Smith, a product of "the contract", which took place decades earlier -- deems it an opportunity that literally sustained the lives of many, but in whose clutches also stole the life of the one person he loved more than anything else in the world. Will Mira's attempt to uncover the truth ultimately grieve the one who yearns it? Or will the final discovery prove to be bitter-sweet?
