Publisher's summary

A secret family legacy becomes a ticking time bomb ...

Skyscraper developer Quincy Witherman has continued his family's 200-year practice of hiding assets in Switzerland. Now, needing protection from his creditors, he hires Kansas City bankruptcy lawyer Josephina Jillian Jones – 3J – but fails to disclose the Swiss assets to 3J, his bankers, the IRS, and the bankruptcy court...all felonies.

3J knows in her gut that something is wrong. So does Witherman's banker, Stacy Milnes.

Will anyone catch him?

The author Mark Shaiken weaves a complex story around the current financial and legal systems regarding bankruptcy.
