The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Hi,


I’m a first-time author who started writing this book during my train commute into Boston. The next thing I knew I had 150 hand-written pages. My thirty years as financial executive and fifteen years as a college Accounting Instructor are over and I'm semi-retired ( still doing some beancounting on the side) , live in Marlboro, MA with my wife and one son, love to read and play golf and exercise ( that is more a requirement, truth be told)

I have a completed crime thriller manuscript, A Fraud of the Ponzi Kind (83,000 words) that introduces Harold Arthur Bartlett III, a Boston-based, wealthy ex-financial executive on a mission to recover stolen funds for fraud victims. A $5m lost investment and missing investment advisor case pits Harry and his team against a murderous crime organization disguised as a legitimate business. Using specially trained con artists, two criminal masterminds steal millions of dollars using Ponzi schemes and corporate embezzlement.
Fueled by his family’s financial ruin from the original Ponzi scheme in 1920, Harry uses computer hacking, the fraud victims, wire-tapping, an employee at the legitimate business and access to a secret government financial database to trap the fraudsters.

I'm completely new to writing and the business of writing. I'm glad to beta read other works.

Thanks,

Bob

PS I am not the Bob Ainsworth that showed up with an ISBN about the UK Secy of Defense.

Welcome to the group!
I understand about getting mixed up with someone else. There is someone with my name that is a well-known chef.

Thanks for responding.
What happens next? I posted asking/volunteering for a beat reader.
Are there ongoing communications? Should I read the site every so often?
