Characters

Cole Porter Lipton

He didn’t ask for the standards his parents measured his success by. Half the time, Cole Porter Lipton didn’t acknowledge them. He didn’t live for work; he worked to live, and for the moment, temporary jobs suited him just fine.

Something about the assignment at MRET Corporation has him on edge, however, and his quirky neighbor isn’t helping.

Murray

A know-it-all who doesn’t know how to take ‘no’ for an answer, Murray shows up at Cole’s door whenever company isn’t wanted (or, on rare occasion, needed). A ‘millionaire vagabond, Murray knows more about Cole’s job than Cole does – and that sort of knowledge could lead to someone’s death.

Nioma Strauss, Cole’s boss, tries to keep things going, but who is to say who will be gone first?
