Stone attempts to wash the cash through a supermarket business, which unbeknownst to him, is partly owned by Rick. When the deal goes wrong, those involved will do anything to stay on top.

In this story Harry Stone is a guy who you could never trust. He looks out for himself. Two years ago he sent Claire to spy on Rick who does investments. Claire & Rick developed a relationship and she has stayed away from Harry ever since. Now Claire's world and Harry's world are going to connect again and she is afraid Rick will find out about her past. Then there are the drug dealers needing their money laundered. You have to stay on your toes with this group to know what is happening.

A little inestuous, she goes from being employed as a spy by a bad guy to moving in with the good guy who doesn't know. She needs to keep it quiet, but the bad guy is in trouble and wants her help again.
She is clever and manages to stay one step ahead.

Harry Stone faces big trouble in the end, and we'll see how she does next time out.

Welling goes for the suspense angle. The Paper Chase reads like a good old-fashioned police drama, like the ones I remember watching with my grandparents on a Sunday afternoon. You spend the whole book playing ‘who dun it?’

Harry Stone- A man that is not a safe one to trust. A man that had made a promise to Claire about Arrow Hall, and did not keep it.
Claire - Sent by Harry to spy on Rick, she seems to have become Rick's confidant, and right hand 'woman in work and love.
Rick- Who deals in investments, falls for Claire, and the feeling is mutual. Claire distances herself from Harry. Given time, her and Harry's lives will become entwined again, and Claire fears Rick will find out about her secret past..

This was my first book by Ron Welling The book is a fast paced and enjoyable thriller the book has lots of twists and turns.
