O knihe

Sometimes you are just in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong client. David Mattson was in just such a place, time and had the wrong client. Not long after September 11, 2001, David was caught up in a broad net thrown by a very powerful group of people-the United States Attorney General John Ashcroft-under orders by President George W. Bush. President Bush's request was plain and simple: "John, any leads given to the justice department are to be prosecuted and punished. There should be no negotiated plea bargains. And further, he would look to the judicial system of the U.S. to abide by the sentencing guidelines and show no departures from them." The story is based in Saratoga Springs, New York, just north of Albany, the state capital. David had a successful public accounting practice along with an investment firm which he had established. He was well respected and successful. His wife, Hannah, and he had raised four children who were currently very successful and independent. His world was just fine until his client, Dr. Yousef Abdullah a client of his for over twenty years began activities that caught the attention of the US Treasury and FBI. The ensuing investigation and arrest of Dr. Abdullah resulted in a wide net being thrown over any people who had any relationship with him. This unfortunately, included David. The story follows David's journey through the federal justice system and its overwhelming control and power.
