The Accidental Witness
Currently, Victor Sandeman works as a senior partner with Brunel Global Securities. In addition, he is having significant financial difficulties, which will be alleviated if the proposed $100 million merger of the company goes through. The company's owner, Raymond Brunel, on the other hand, is opposed to the combination. Victor murders Raymond (while attempting to make it appear as if he died of natural causes) in order to proceed with the planned merger. Victor believes that he can overcome the inept David Brunel, Raymond's grandson and the company's heir apparent. Christine Sternwald, a probable witness to the murder, is the only snag in the investigation. The paralegal and future attorney Christine is only now beginning to put her life back together after being sexually assaulted three years prior to this. In a fender crash immediately after the murder, Victor and Christine come face to face with each other, with Victor driving the murdered Raymond's automobile. Victor is compelled to identify himself to Christine as Raymond Brunel.
