THIS IS A SHORT STORY
John Rudiger, a fugitive financier living under an alias in the Caribbean, who ran off with close to $100 million from his hedge fund, is down to his last $2 million. Katie Dolan, a lawyer with the US Attorney's Office in New York, is sent to Antigua to try to get enough evidence to extradite Rudiger back to the US to stand trial. Rudiger recruits her to help him retrieve $50 million of stolen bearer bonds from a safe deposit box in New York.
Katie is no dope, and neither is Rudiger, and each one has to figure out who's scamming who as they work their plan to sneak the bonds out from under the nose of Charlie Holden, Katie's boss, the Assistant US Attorney in New York, who's wise to both of them.
Rudiger is a 10,000 word short story.

About the author
David Lender
17 books60 followersEx-Wall Street Insider and Pitbull Poppi. I’m a pull-no-punches thriller author of vigilantly-researched espionage and white collar crime. Found at DLenderAuthor.com, my series and standalone novels are inspired by more than 25 years on Wall Street. Now I use my insider’s knowledge of the characters and intrigues that inhabit that sharp-elbowed world to create stories of corporate power brokers, CEO bullies, megalomaniacs and con artists.
I write about financial fraudsters, male and female spies and assassins, and the gritty underdogs that take them on. I also Tweet and blog from northeastern Pennsylvania with my rescue pitbull, Styles.

Brilliant story exposing greed and meaness on Wall Street. Simple good guy vs bad guy dynamics. Then the twists begin.Beautiful women turns bad but does it for good reasons. Bad guy in exile looks like he will get screwed royally but ... well just read to find out the new meaning of screwed.

Rudiger
This was thefirst John Rudiger book I have read. Not really sure if I will enjoy a steady diet of them.
