The Immigrant: The Whistleblower and the Devil
Born in Jordan to Palestinian refugees, Abdul Jaludi grew up navigating impossible contradictions: the weight of a strict Arab culture, the dreams of a displaced family, and the promise of an American future that seemed both inevitable and impossibly distant.
When his family finally arrived in Astoria, Queens, the challenges didn't end. They multiplied. Building a life in a new country meant confronting cultural expectations, economic hardship, and the daily struggle of belonging nowhere and everywhere at once.
Then came Citibank. After years of hard work, Abdul thought he had finally made it: a corporate job, stability, the American Dream realized. But when he discovered fraud and corruption at one of the world's most powerful financial institutions, he faced an impossible choice: stay silent and keep his career, or speak up and risk everything.
He chose truth.
The institution he trusted turned its full power against him in retaliation.
The fight cost him everything. His career. His sense of security. His faith in the system he had worked so hard to be part of.
This is the story of what happened next: the blacklisting, isolation, and the long-haul truck driving that became both survival and renewal. It's about an immigrant who refused to stay silent when facing the devil himself, and what it cost him to stand on principle in a country that promised fairness but delivered something far more complicated.
Raw, unflinching, and deeply personal, The Immigrant is a memoir in three acts: arrival, betrayal, and rebirth.
From the same author of The Hunter's Craft: Confessions of a Serial Killer—a psychological thriller so convincingly real, readers can't believe it's fiction.
