Synopsis

The American Dream ain't what it used to be, as Major Henry Gillette Powers, USMC, discovers on his return from Afghanistan. His sister and her family have disappeared, and their home has been repossessed, along with half the houses in the neighborhood. With the help of Jeanine, who has also lost her home, he learns fast what's going on.
What he unearths about the mortgage business awakens long-buried sides of his character, and corpses start to drop in his wake as he travels from Ohio to New York.
Meanwhile on Wall Street, Kendra Hampton, financial journalist, discovers that mortgage traders are dying in very messy ways.
Hampton and Powers are now on a collision course as events race towards a climax that could mean the death of dozens.

The Great Recession of 2008 was ten years ago, but the effects are still with us, and for the most part those responsible have yet to face justice.
This novel looks at what might have been if one man had discovered the truth and taken the law into his own hands.
It also contains a guide, written by a professional, on what to do if you find yourself bullied by the financial houses.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Hugh Ashton was born in Ramsgate, Kent, and after moving with his family to Norton-on-Tees, and then to Stafford, graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in philosophy (which would have been better than a lower second if he hadn't spent so much time playing bass guitar). Following graduation, he spent some time supporting confused computer users in the NHS and other organisations before moving to Japan to write manuals for audio makers there. He spent 28 years in that country, during which time he met and married his wife Yoshiko, lived through one of the most severe disasters to hit Japan (the March 11 2011 earthquake and tsunami with the ensuring Fukushima meltdowns), worked in international finance houses and as a business and technical journalist, contributed a number of articles to inflight magazines, and started his fiction writing career, eventually being published by Inknbeans Press of California. In 2016, family reasons prompted a return to the UK, where he now lives with Yoshiko in the cathedral city of Lichfield. The death of the founder of Inknbeans Press in December 2017 forced him to re-publish his books, along with those of a few others, under his own imprint, j-views Publishing, where he also offers editorial and design services to other writers.
