When former Department of Defense computer analyst Jonathon “John” Henderson takes his wife Abby to Grand Cayman for their 25th anniversary, they expect sunsets, fine wine, and quiet beaches—not a sniper’s bullet shattering their evening. Forced into a deadly game of survival, the couple must draw on John’s long-buried espionage skills and Abby’s surprising military past to outwit unknown pursuers. As they navigate the island’s backstreets, high-end resorts, and shadowy banking corridors, they uncover a dangerous truth: their enemies aren’t just after them—they’re after the secrets John has kept hidden for decades. From the tranquil sands of Seven Mile Beach to the dark corners of international finance and covert intelligence, It’s Always About the Money blends pulse-pounding action with authentic tradecraft. Fast-paced, vividly detailed, and steeped in real-world intrigue, this cat-and-mouse thriller keeps readers guessing who can be trusted until the final page. Perfect for fans of Robert Ludlum and Daniel Silva, K.L. Hargrave’s debut delivers both heart-racing suspense and an insider’s glimpse into the shadow world where survival often comes down to one rule—it’s always about the money.
