Revenge of the Cube Dweller: A Tanzie Lewis Novel is by Joanne Fox Phillips. For a first attempt at a novel, this is a good book. She is a CPA, certified internal auditor, and certified fraud examiner for a company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her background gives her plenty of background information for Tanzie Lewis and her time in a company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Those details make it a realistic book.
Tanzie Lewis has just taken a job with Bishop Group in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She moved here from Houston, Texas after her divorce from Winston who also worked for an oil and gas company. From hearing him talk, Tanzie has a better grasp on their operation than most new employees. However, Tanzie has not worked for 20 years. She was hired in the audit department as an entry year person until she proved herself. Although she clearly knew more about accounting and investigation than did Hal who interviewed her, she accepted the job. She was paired with Frank and Moe and was to do what they told her to do. Within a week, she was definitely bored with the jobs they had her do.
Then Frank put her on a project to audit the vendors. Seeing something fishy oh her preliminary pass, she ended up investigating closer only to discover two of the employees were embezzling. She brings this to Frank’s attention and he takes it on up the ladder but takes credit for it.
As the story continues, Tanzie takes many chances to discover whatever she can about Bishop Group and possible fraud. When a pipeline blows up in Houston killing one of her best friends, her husband and two sons, Tanzie starts investigating harder. Will she find something? How will she get this information to the authorities when she gets it illegally? What will happen to her?
