THE DEVIL'S AUDITOR

The story of an accountant unwittingly caught up in a major financial scandal of global proportions and the many murders committed, some to hide the original crimes of fraud, others of a personal nature involving the oldest of motives, revenge, while still others are attributable to the unexplained insane compulsions of a serial killer.

Hired for a simple project, requiring a two week audit of the Chandler bank’s internal controls, little did Castillo suspect that a simple routine review, described to him as “needing only your rubber-stamping of the process” would result in a major world wide investigation. Disclosing millions of dollars in fraudulent financial activity, requiring Castillo to untangle a virtual “can of worms” in transactions and insalubrious business relationships, that included a multitude of conflicting interests, while unraveling the myriad of layers in cover-up schemes used to not only conceal the fraud but conceal mysterious murders. Murders that ultimately would implicate members of an elite group, at the highest echelons of international financial power.

The police having failed for over five years open the door for Castillo to be hired by the victim’s families, entrusted to go beyond the fraud and identity and bring the murderers to justice

This would be a case of intrigue, suspense, scandal and unresolved crimes of murder, that would challenge Castillo’s skills, not only as an auditor but also those of his avocation… solving mysteries.
It starts in Key West then  Miami and then follows a twisting route  through the Caribbean, South America as well as the small town of Tahlequah Oklahoma.
Two other friends assist the unlikely hero. His carefree cousin, a former police officer  and a doctor the chief  medical examiner of the city of Miami.
Although not a doorstopper, its 350 pages are full of fun, facts and forensics.
