ORDER NOW! Paul Bobrowski's thriller #TRACELESS

#TRACELESS

Connor Teele is a driven, highly successful man whose accomplishments and path emulate many from the billion-dollar Seattle cyber-tech empires. His ability to hopscotch between good and evil within a day’s work is set against criminal acts that would stun anyone. What leads him to connect the highest levels of technology with the deepest, darkest recesses of his soul? What is his redemption, or society’s redemption? #TRACELESS is a spine-tingling novel full of twists and turns, impossible to put down. Its surprises come in the planning and execution of the criminal act. Connor approaches it as “the Lord’s business of retribution,” as he would say, in which retribution-driven spirituality becomes a religion all to itself. Both enthralling and shocking, #TRACELESS draws on the author’s concerns about technology’s inexorable drive to take over our souls — and our world.

 

Paul Bobrowski is a lifelong Southern Californian and multi-talented creative artist. A model and actor in his younger years, the long-time musician began writing novels when a close friend noticed his vast oral storytelling capabilities. #TRACELESS is the first in a series of novels that spotlight Bobrowski’s creative talent and ability to tell stories no one will soon forget.

ORDER Blood Money by Chris Riedel

Blood Money is the story of how a Silicon Valley CEO became a fraud fighter. It is an insider’s look at the David vs. Goliath struggle between one man seeking to save his company and stop taxpayers from being ripped-off, and healthcare companies engaged in massive fraud. Affecting millions of taxpayers, it is one of the biggest “hidden” stories in the healthcare world. Imagine running a superb business operating with the highest integrity — until squeezed out by a pair of companies engaging in one of the greatest predatory pricing schemes in the medical world. What do you do? Such was Chris Riedel’s dilemma, which led him to become one of the top medical fraud fighters in U.S. history, which he chronicles in this riveting true-crime book, Blood Money.

In Blood Money, Riedel exposes the underworld of medical fraud in unsparing terms. He begins with the Blood Brothers’ fraud against taxpayers, which pushed Chris and his attorney partners, Niall McCarthy (son of former Calif. Lieutenant Governor Leo McCarthy) and Justin Berger into action. Chris and his attorneys blew the whistle, and won a landmark $241 million settlement for the State of California taxpayers in a highly publicized 2011 case. 

Chris is one of the top medical whistleblowers ever — and he’s still at it. He owned and was CEO of a highly regarded Northern California lab testing company, Hunter Labs. Some would say that Chris is a hero to taxpayers – a whistleblower not only going after medical fraud, but making sure that taxpayers do not get ripped off any further. In all, he and his partners have won cases totaling cases totaling over $550 million, which is what drives this now-retired man.
