Book Description
How America’s youngest state auditor uncovered the largest public corruption scandal in the history of the nation’s poorest state “A must read” with all the thrills of a John Grisham novel — for fans of shocking true crime exposés like Black Edge and Bad Blood (Peter Schweizer, author of Secret Empires) This riveting exposé details how a small team of auditors and investigators, led by the youngest State Auditor in the country, uncovered a brazen scheme where the powerful stole millions in welfare funds from the poor in a sprawling conspiracy that stretched from Mississippi to Malibu. Well-connected donors, highly placed officials, and popular public figures diverted tens of millions of dollars from the federal government's TANF — temporary assistance for needy families — program until a Republican auditor, his small team of dedicated investigators, and a Democratic prosecutor joined forces to hold them accountable in the face of intense obstruction and harassment. Peopled with unforgettable characters — from the perpetrators; to the impoverished citizens for whom the money was intended; to the investigators, prosecutors, and reporters who held them to account — Mississippi Swindle is a political and true crime drama that highlights larger crises while appealing to a broad nationwide audience.

Book Description
Emerson Hough made his name as a writer of Westerns, but the frontier lawyer also had a keen interest in the rough tapestry of American history as a whole. In this historical novel, he details the remarkable life of Scottish economist John Law, who put his controversial business ideas to work in Mississippi and Louisiana and caused a financial mess so profound that he had to flee the region disguised as a female traveler to preserve his own safety.
