About this ebook

"The Sheep Rise Up" is about crimes at the highest corporate levels, and the people who commit them.

Kristen O'Hara is General Counsel of Enterprise, Inc., and single mom of a college-age daughter. Her pompous and overbearing boss, President Peter Preston, and his yes man, Chief Financial Officer Richard Axel, attempt to persuade Kristen to sign a representation letter she believes to be untrue. Their aim is to avoid the need to properly reflect a significant liability in the company's year end financial statements. If Kristen sticks to her ethical high ground, the company's outstanding long-term debt could become immediately payable, devastating the company and taking the exective officers' personal finances down with it.

Based on anonymous information, Kristen suspects that $1.5 billion has been embezzled from Enterprise, explaining recent cash shortages. Kristen seeks the advice of Frank Atwater, her former boss and mentor at a prestigious law firm. Frank encourages her to hire Steve Sachs, a longtime friend and private investigator extraordinaire who thinks of every trick in the book.

"The Guy," an underworld figure who would do whatever he deemed necessary toachieve the goals of his client, lives up to his reputation and ultimately threatens the lives of Kristen and her daughter.
The action of "The Sheep Rise Up" moves from private offices and boardrooms to public parks, jazz clubs, and hotels, with many surprises along the way.

Author

Mitchell Graye

Mitchell Graye was raised and still lives in the New York City Metropolitan area where he has held a variety of positions during his career in the financial community. At one such post, he discovered and ‘blew the whistle’ on a series of questionable financial transactions and reports. When not applying his analytical skills, Mitchell enjoys being a people watcher and has been a student in various psychology courses because he is intensely curious about what makes people tick. Graye draws upon his knowledge of the financial world in presenting the backdrop of cutthroat corporate politics and corruption in Return to Go. His keen observation of human behavior and smart sense of humor come into play in developing the interactions between his compelling characters. Mitchell Graye has also written numerous short stories, essays, a sitcom pilot; and a novella, which is set for publication in 2007. He is an author from whom we will undoubtedly hear much more.
