About this ebook

It's Burton James to the rescue when he comes to the aid of his lifelong friend David Weber. David suspects his mother's fortune may be at risk, thanks to Simon and Simone Rappaport, a pair of shady investment brokers. Disguised as Dr. Wilson Tanner, a silicon valley business tycoon, Burton will take you on a wild ride as he maneuvers the Rappaport duo into a con of his own that is so outrageous it will make you roll your eyes in disbelief. Complicated by a mysterious double homicide, Burton finds himself almost in over his head in a charade so hazardous that even his own life may be at risk. But nothing will stop him until he uncovers the truth. You may find Burton James to be a bumbler at times, but one thing you will not deny is his farcical romp will make you laugh out loud.

The James Charade
Author

James McLaughlin

His lifelong love of reading coupled with an overactive imagination fueled the creation of Jim McLaughlin's novels. Starting with comic books as a kid, Jim is never without a good book at his side. A career move to Chicago was the spark that ignited the story behind "The James Charade". The economic downturn set in motion the central theme in "The Leveler". "Two Billion Reasons to Kill???" features Burton James, the popular character first introduced to the world in "The James Charade".Born in Iowa and raised in Prairie Village, Kansas, Jim spent the majority of his career in the medical equipment industry, working for large companies before plunging headfirst into the wonderful world of entrepreneurship by starting and selling two successful medical equipment businesses in the Kansas City area.Now retired, Jim spends his time reading and writing. He loves to travel with his wife, is addicted to water sports, is lousy at golf but still likes to play, and spends his spare time in his bead studio where he practices the age old art of lampwork.Jim's favorite authors are Catherine Coulter (www.catherinecoulter.com), Lawrence Sanders (may God rest his soul), and Robert B. Parker (now writing in Heaven with Lawrence Sanders).
