A young financial analyst must face the wrath of the FBI for crimes she did not commit while making murderous shadow enemies. Set against the backdrop of 21st century New York City and the feverish rise of state-sponsored financial terrorism, Paper Trail is a psychological thriller about the power and limits of well-connected friends, government malfeasance, and an investment advisor’s sinister secrets.
It is just the beginning when 28-year-old Lindsay’s parents die in a car crash late one night. There is no time to mourn with the FBI knocking. As her deluge of grief and confusion at the accusations threaten to push her past the edge, she reaches out to her adoptive aunt, Nora Kinkaid whose OL members gather to help her stage the fight for vindication. They uncover a far more internationally devastating crime that has Lindsay’s digital prints all over and may bring ruin upon the OL. This politically savvy thriller threads its way through US agency politics, exposing those leveraging power by manipulating the most vulnerable. Paper Trail is a mix of fact and fiction with ensemble storylines and compelling characters all woven into a surprising conclusion.
