This is a story about the first, the largest and most insidious financial crime of the Twenty First century. This is also a tale of an auditor, unwittingly caught up in a major financial scandal of global proportions and the many murders committed to hide its secrets. This is a story of a crime, which has been the cause of one of the largest illegal transfers of funds in U.S. history; the results have been the taking of money from the pockets of the average American, and transferring it into the pockets of the wealthiest bankers and security brokers in this country. Not since the great depression has there been such pervasive and deep loss in asset value. This has been one of the most sinister frauds to have ever been perpetrated on the American public. This has been a crime, which has permeated all aspects of our economy, and a crime that continues to affect us all. This is also a tale of a man; an auditor, who during a routine audit, discovers the fraud. His queries ultimately lead him to delve into mysterious and unresolved murders; some to hide the original crimes of fraud, others of a personal nature involving the oldest of motives, revenge, while still others are attributable to the unexplained insane compulsions of a serial killer.
