About this audiobook
A chilling exposé of corporate corruption and government cover-ups, this account of a nationwide child-trafficking and pedophilia ring in the United States tells a sordid tale of corruption in high places.
The scandal originally surfaced during an investigation into Omaha - Nebraska's failed Franklin Federal Credit Union that went beyond the Midwest, ultimately to Washington, DC.
Implicating businessmen, senators, major media corporations, the CIA, and even the venerable Boys Town organization, this extensively researched report includes firsthand interviews with key witnesses and explores a controversy that has received scant media attention.
An Author's Republic audio production.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is the story of government malice. It shows how malevolent and powerful government and law enforcement can be when it’s interests are threatened, and it tells the heartbreaking story of the only person punished for a wide reaching conspiracy: the victim.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Some parts, usually around the details from trials, can get long. But they are important. It's important info. Stick through and read the epilogue. You won't be disappointed.
