This is book 1 of the "Ed Eagle" series.

This note contains spoilers for the book.

Ed Eagle gets his own book. (And I find myself thinking of the NRA's Eddie Eagle gun safety program for young children whenever I see his name. "Stop! Don't touch. Run away. Tell a grown-up."

His murderous ex-wife is after him, and her agent cuts his throat, but an eighth of an inch or so too shallowly. She may be giving up, since she's managing to inherit another previous husband's billion-dollar estate that his lawyer had fraudulently blocked her from (not even for personal profit, he apparently understood how evil she was).

Not all women in these books are evil, far from it. But Barbara Eagle (with many aliases) and Dolce Bianchi are completely bugfuck crazy and very dangerous.
