Hemorrhage: A Novel

by Peter Budetti

Overview

Operating on American soil but controlled from Moscow, the Russian mob has inserted its agents into the highest levels of the U.S. government and assembled a criminal network of shady doctors and corrupt U.S. officials in a massive conspiracy to steal billions of medical care dollars by preying on unsuspecting patients who are left dead or maimed. When the insidious scheme ravages his own family, young cybersleuth Will Manningham is recruited by the F.B.I. to fight the Russians in a deadly struggle that pits his brain and supercomputer against the international crime ring.

Editorial Reviews

"Who would have thought a behind the scenes story of one of the world's largest government bureaucracies could be so exciting? The book is a real page turner about Russian corruption and interference in our government... It is a fictional account but seems so real given current events."

"Cracking fun read on a fascinating subject, and geopolitically salient to boot."

"A real page-turner and fun to read. Maybe more truth than we want to believe, given the current political reality."

"This author knows from experience what he is writing about"

"The NY Times article about Michael Cohen’s ... involvement with Russian mobster related fraudulent injury and insurance scams, just a part of his extensive network of shady dealings, reads like a chapter from your book."

"Very entertaining and suspenseful! It was easy to follow and hard to put down!"

"A good read and thought-provoking! Russians in our government...hmmm"
