Power corrupts. Flesh corrupts absolutely.

In the chilling sequel to The Road to Keelgus Wye, the web of deceit spun by LVP Capital has only deepened. Once believed to be dismantled, the shadowy investment firm—helmed by Robin Ware and Robert Peters—has returned with a vengeance, their reach extending into the marrow of government and justice alike.

Attorney Sidney Jeffries thought she had ended their empire through ruthless corporate warfare. She was wrong. Burned out and disillusioned, she retreats to Gibson Hollow, a quiet Appalachian town, seeking solitude and small-town law. But in the world of power and privilege, no one simply walks away.

When Rupert Vaughn, Sidney’s enigmatic mentor and managing partner at Vaughn, Eaton, and Cox, makes a Faustian bargain—his failing heart in exchange for Sidney’s life—her quiet exile erupts into terror. Ware and Peters enlist Roe Halberd, a psychotic ex-CIA operative, to abduct Sidney and a local undertaker, Ward Payne, whose heart happens to be the perfect match for Vaughn’s.

As Halberd’s sadistic games unfold in a decaying mountain compound, FBI agents Alyce Krause and Malcolm Royce begin to unravel the conspiracy from Nassau to Ecuador, uncovering a network of corruption that spans continents. Their investigation draws in Monnie Grier and Barrett Vogt, veterans of the first LVP battle, who must once again descend into a world where law, morality, and sanity blur.

With the help of her own rogue ally, Pascal, Monnie mounts a desperate rescue mission—one that will pit her against Halberd in a final, terrifying confrontation. But even victory comes with a price. In a brutal twist of fate, Halberd’s death gives Royce the liver that saves his life, while LVP’s leaders vanish back into the shadows.

Now, Monnie knows what she must do. The war is far from over. And next time, she’s taking it to Robin Ware and Robert Peters themselves.

The Beneficiary is a taut, propulsive thriller of vengeance, betrayal, and survival—where the body is currency, the law is a façade, and justice demands blood.
