Winter Rules: A Novel
“A timely, riveting thriller…Winter Rules is one hell of an intellectual and emotional roller coaster. Enjoy the ride!”
Harry Sedlacek plays golf and life by Winter Rules—self-righteous ethics that permit him to play fast and loose with the law and the truth. As the government wages war against the Sherman Broder Barter Society—the world’s largest, gold-based, black-market criminal cartel—Harry is drafted by his Nobel Prize-winning wife and the menacing director of the IRS to help them implement a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and social credit system. They expect their cashless monetary system to revive the nation’s dying economy and destroy Broder’s tax-evading enterprise. Outraged by this prospect, Broder’s tech-savvy niece enlists in the fight and vows to do whatever it takes to defend her uncle.
When Harry chances to meet a beguiling young woman on the golf course, he becomes entangled in a harrowing web of lies, seduction, extortion, and treason. His Winter Rules—and his homespun notions about patriotism, good and evil, right and wrong—are challenged to the core. Betrayed on all sides, Harry must fight not only for his sanity, but also for his life and the life of the woman he loves.
