Two Million Reasons

Insurance recovery team Smith and Westen are up to their ears in movers determined to demolish every stick of furniture in their new home. It’s almost a relief when a recovery job takes them to Los Angeles.

Magician Gabe Heinz is in the middle of his vanishing act when he does just that—vanish before a sell-out crowd—along with two million in securities from the bank where he’s vice president. His daughter is distraught—and a prime suspect—not just by the FBI, but by her nagging shrew of a mother.

Hunky bodyguard Ryan Ames is supposed to meet them at LAX. Instead, a gun-wielding lunkhead with a fondness for roughing up women escorts them to a mobster who claims they now work for him.
