About this ebook
This is a story about two journalists, Hank Hadley and Kylie Driscoll, working for a small Washington D.C. newspaper, the Capital Sentinel, whose nose for news uncovers a plot of government corruption so broad in scope it rocks the very foundation of American democracy. Using the power of the press and risking their lives in the process, they make it their number one priority to do everything they can think of to put the spotlight on the conspirators.
What starts out as a local news story soon spreads out into a national and international news media spectacle which eventually draws in the local police, the FBI and even Interpol.
It involves congresspersons, lobbyists, corporate CEOs and organized crime figures who join forces to reap mega millions of dollars, perhaps billions, in illegal financial gains. The story unfolds in the nation’s capital and ends in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia.
All three branches of the U. S. government, the Executive, the Judicial and the Legislative, become woven into the fabric of the tale as it wends its way to Lady Justice.
There’s something for everyone in this saga of intrigue, suspense, violence and humor along with a few surprises. Enjoy!

A Little Bit About Dan Kelly the Author"May you always find a good book to read and the time to enjoy it!"After spending forty years in the real world of domestic and international banking, my writing activities being largely restricted to business plans, internal memos, advertising copy, news releases and speeches, I decided I had had enough of the real world and made up my mind to pursue something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while, immerse myself in the world of make believe just for the sheer joy of letting my imagination and creative juices run wild.Except for the occasional humorous ode for the enjoyment of family, friends and colleagues, I never had the time to indulge the more fanciful side of my nature, but since July 2007 I’ve made great progress in atoning for that neglect. My Irish sense of humor coupled with my experience in dealing with a broad spectrum of people from all walks of life and social status are proving to be a wonderful reservoir of inspiration for me in character and story development.Celestial Capers, Casino Capers, Computer Capers, Caribbean Capers, Carat Capers, Calling Card Capers, Cabernet Capers, Calumny Capers, Canyon Capers, Capital Capers, Counterfeiting Capers, Cryptography Capers and Chopper Capers are the products of my first thirteen mental voyages into the realm of make believe and I hope you will be as delighted as I was to make these trips. I am currently embarked on my fourteenth safari into the relatively unexplored dimensions of my imagination, Campaign Capers, and I am finding the expedition as thoroughly enjoyable as my first thirteen tours. I’m hoping you will too.If you'd like to contact me, feel free to send me an e-mail at caperscove2@yahoo.com.
