Publisher's Synopsis
A former IRS trial lawyer who became an influential political figure and high-profile attorney, is the target of a confidential informant's complaint letter. Soon after pleading guilty to having filed fraudulent tax returns, she is murdered. At the same time, her husband who is a prominent dermatologist, is the subject of an informant's complaint letter in which he is accused of having filed fraudulent insurance claims.
The IRS is owed more than four million dollars in additional taxes, interest and penalties and pursues collection against the decedent's spouse who will have to repay many millions of dollars to Medicare. In addition, should the dermatologist be considered responsible for his wife's death, he will be forced to repay two million dollars in death benefit claims.
Determined to avoid prison and having to repay millions of dollars to the government, the doctor decides to take on the federal government in court. Desperate to win at any cost, the doctor will do whatever is necessary to prevail.
As the FBI investigates the husband's possible involvement in his wife's death, its agents learn that he may have played a role in the death of his first wife. Deceptively elusive, the doctor seems to always be one step ahead of the FBI agents and the prosecutor who is determined to find him guilty.
In a riveting story of greed, deception and distrust, one man will do anything to win while another man will do whatever is necessary to see that a just verdict is achieved.
