Highgate to Hell: An Unbelievable but True Story of Government Crimes and Corruption

by John W. Lynn

Overview

There is no doubt that corruption is a serious and destructive crime that goes back to the beginning of time and even today continues to infect authorities and governments everywhere. Even a small, local community in New York is not spared from it. Author John W. Lynn took a stand against corruption and government bullies. Readers will be shocked to read about what happened to him in Highgate to Hell: An unbelievable but true story of Government crime, corruption, deception, and racial discrimination released through Xlibris. Lynn’s true story begins in Pomona, a village of less than three thousand people located twenty miles north of New York City. In this small village a series of horrific acts were committed by government officials that affected many individuals, families, and businesses. Described in vivid detail, this book reveals the impact that these criminal acts and outrageous cover-ups had on the lives of innocent people. Having witnessed and been a victim of these events himself, the author reveals how those who tried to help him retreated out of fear and intimidation due to the destructive, malicious people that used their political influence and connections. This is particularly relevant in today’s economic climate as it underscores the need for everyone to abhor destructive behavior on the part of government officials who abuse their power for selfish gains instead of serving the public who elected them. Highgate to Hell promises to give readers an informative look at corruption at the State and Federal level but goes further in that it demonstrates that anyone could fall victim to this kind of political abuse.

About the Author

John Lynn is a forty-six-year-old man who has been happily married for twenty-two years with three teenage children. He grew up and still resides in Rockland County, New York, a suburb of New York City. He came from a hardworking middle-class family. John lost both his parents to natural causes when he was a young man. John established himself as an ambitious workaholic at a very young age. While other teenagers were involved in social or school activities, John was out working and learning a trade. He learned the skills of a carpenter and also pursued his dream of becoming a police officer. Always maintaining his ambition, he juggled multiple jobs. He often worked for continuous stretches of twenty-four to thirty-six hours without sleep or even a break. It was routine for him to log one hundred and twenty hours of “work time” in a week running between jobs. His determination, persistence, ethics, and honesty allowed him to establish a very successful construction company specializing in high-end custom homes and land development. John was never handed anything. He proved that honest hard work and the willingness to take a little legitimate risk can bring great reward. I know how proud his parents would be of him if they were still with us. John did not ever expect the thriving relationship of corruption, greed, and politics to ever affect him. His high standard of moral living and business ethic did not permit these elements from being a factor in his success or existence. He never knew that the ugly side of politics, which are still being practiced today, would lead to his complete and total destruction and financial ruin.
