The Story
Money. Motive. Murder.
The wire transfer cleared at 11:47 p.m.—four minutes before the audit window opened, which was either impeccable timing or the kind of luck that only looks like luck.
Lex Vaughn spent her career at the IRS reading the paper trail other people hoped no one would read. Now she works privately, from an A-frame in the mountains, with Ledger the half-wolf at her feet and Debit the cat on the desk. Related-party transactions. Beneficial ownership concealment. An audit opinion that should never have been signed.
The numbers reconcile. The motive does not.
