I spoke to them about the reactions they received from the strip club owners, dancers, and patrons they interviewed and their own thoughts regarding the people and situations they met during the investigation. I was intrigued by their responses. I had always wanted to write a novel and I immediately realized that I had found a concept I could develop into a story of temptation, corruption, and redemption.(less)

Quotes by Jerri Williams  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“During most of my Bureau career I worked major economic fraud investigations and was amazed at the schemes con-artist and corrupt corporate and public officials would devise to steal other people’s money. I’ve also had the opportunity to work bank robberies and drug investigations. The one thing I know for sure is… With a gun you can steal hundreds. With a pen you can steal millions.”
