Description
Book SynopsisJohn Reid spent years building the life he always wanted: a beautiful wife, a luxury yacht, a holiday home. But this all comes crashing down around him when he is wrongfully accused by New Zealand government officials of masterminding a colossal tax fraud against well-heeled investors. Finding himself at the centre of a national scandal, and with the threat of a long prison sentence looming, John battles to clear his name. Despite his lawyer's best efforts, the fight will never be a fair one: New Zealand's Serious Fraud Office is renowned for its prosecutorial prowess, and the country's top QC has his sights set on putting John behind bars for good. As the case gets further underway, John uncovers a thread of corruption that runs deeper than he could ever imagine. With justice spiralling further out of reach and the verdict ever closer, John must draw on every reserve ha has to be in with a chance of overcoming the odds in what becomes a David-versus-Goliath fight. Based on true accounts, A Few Bad Men is a gripping true crime thriller about one man's fight for justice in the face of a broken, corrupt system.
