LIFO Reserve

Many businesses engage in the annual ritual of taking inventory-counting the goods in stock so that an accurate asset is reflected on the balance sheet. For most, it is a straightforward and critical necessity to running a successful business enterprise. A CPA firm in Nashville, Tennessee, finds that it is not so easy. One of their associates dies while on assignment at a client business in Savannah, Georgia. Levi Jones is the youngest partner in the firm, and his seniors task him to return to Savannah and pick up the trail left by his deceased associate. Levi learns that his Georgia client manufactures a material that has military applications. Before the dealing is done, the FBI and the U.S. Army join the CPA in a probe of a company inventory that leads to guns, drugs, and corporate intrigue. Follow Levi as he uses extraordinary tactics to unravel the mystery of Savannah and save his audit client and his accounting firm from ruin.
