    About this audiobook

    Debut novelist Paul Robertson delivers a critically acclaimed page turner that thrusts an idealistic young man into the swirling vortex of a corrupt empire. When New England's premier powerbroker dies, his 28-year-old son Jason is surprised to find he is the sole heir. At first, Jason angrily rejects this billion-dollar bequest. But he's gradually seduced by the very power and prestige he despises. When he finally starts to right past wrongs, however, a series of murders sends him fleeing for his life.

      I really enjoyed this book. It is a reminder to me that we always have a choice in making the right moral decisions. This book was a mystery that had me trying to solve as I read. I also enjoyed the fact that the writing was clean. There was no need for profanity or nudity. It was entertaining.
