Rudiger Stories
(2014)(A book in the White Collar Crime Thriller series)
An omnibus of novels by David Lender
Rudiger Stories - Prequel to the novel, Spin Move. Hotshot Walter Conklin is a wunderkind Wall Street hedge fund manager. He's on a roll until his $1 billion technology fund melts down after his CFO cooks the books and he can't manage his way out of it as the NASDAQ crashes from its historic highs. The Feds are on to him--his CFO copped a plea and blamed it all on Conklin--so Conklin flees with $100 million from his fund before they can throw him in jail. He becomes a fugitive financier under the alias of John Rudiger and adopts Antigua as his home. That sets off a series of adventures for Rudiger.
Charlie Holden, Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York, gets a tip and sends one of his staff lawyers down to get the goods on Rudiger and extradite him to stand trial.
Rudiger needs to establish his credentials as an Antiguan national, requiring the help of the double-dealing local police--who will sell their allegiance to the highest bidder. In another adventure, Rudiger has to outwit a killer hired by a disgruntled investor who lost millions in his hedge fund. In another, Rudiger goes into the belly of Antigua's underworld to help his housekeeper scam back her life savings from the con artists who swindled her out of it. And in the last, he recruits Katie Dolan, another lawyer sent from Charlie Holden's office in New York to bring him in, to help him retrieve $50 million in bearer bonds from a safe deposit box in New York.
Rudiger Stories is a fast-paced collection of FIVE Rudiger Stories - Rudiger Comes Alive, Rudiger in the Islands, Rudiger in Peril, Rudiger on the Streets and Rudiger - 95,000 words and 263 pages.
