Corruptacy

by Don VanLandingham

Overview

A forensic accountant discovers during a routine bankruptcy fraud investigation, an evil plot by two high-ranking government officials with ties to a terrorist organization. Come travel with Jeffrey Allan and his FBI friend, "Fast Eddie Cruise" as they embattle embezzlement, corruption, kidnapping, murder, and an assassination attempt on their journey to restore law and order to our economic system. More than a mystery, CORRUPTACY is a lesson on how bankruptcy does, and doesn't work in the United States. What happens to the money collected during bankruptcy? Who are the Trustees? Who are the Judges? How do these people get their jobs? Are there safeguards against abuse? Who is in charge? With an emphasis on family and community values with a thought-provoking religious thread that runs within the story, CORRUPTACY is a historic novel with a silver lining that can inspire anyone who believes that good will overcome evil.
