I Hid the Evidence in a Book

Starting from nothing, one man builds a company, takes it public, then forms a chamber of commerce and establishes a financial consortium. Along the way, there are sins and evils, industry secrets, and a constant dance on the edge of the law as he exploits human greed and desire. Everyone is a pawn, there to be used and manipulated. To the public, he is a philanthropist and entrepreneur; behind the scenes, he is a local kingpin who controls gray-market networks across industries and makes the rules of the game. He uses his public standing to whitewash his image, then turns the consortium behind him into a springboard to sweep all before him. Some readers say they can't understand it, but that's fine: it was originally written for industry professionals. For publication, a list of the real-life models is included.
