Financial planners encounter all kinds of clients and cases, but rarely do they ever get involved in solving the murder of a client.  Arthur, a financial planner, is asked by an important client to help a friend in need of serious financial planning.  Before Arthur can resolve the friend’s planning, she mysteriously dies.   The Sheriff, who was romantically involved with the friend, asks Arthur’s assistance in investigating the death because of the financial aspects of the case.  The ingredients in the case are part of current everyday financial new; family members in need of money, land developers who would have killed for the land a year ago.  Times have changed and the real estate market has gone upside down due to overbuilding and a sub-prime crisis.  Arthur digs through the information about the client’s friend to solve the murder much like he would solve a client’s financial planning case.   “The Grove” is written by Kenneth Zahn.  Ken has been a financial planner for over 30 years.  He has been active both in the practice of financial planning and in teaching the financial planning curriculum.  He is nationally known for his ability to make understandable the complexities of financial planning.
