The Bad Samaritan

This smart, sexy financial thriller with a sense of humor is also a roman clef, illuminating the financial skullduggery that almost destroyed the world economy. Never has a financial crisis been such fun, as The Bad Samaritan puts the thrill back in thriller. Blithe, a prostitute, and Cole, a homeless man and convicted child molester, encounter some really bad people. Scoundrels become heroes, heroes transmogrify into scoundrels and a bullet from Blithes gun kills a beloved captain of industry. With Blithe under arrest for a murder she probably didnt commit, only Cole can save her. To do so he needs to extricate himself from a scheme to bring about a total economic collapse. Desperate, he turns to the most depraved person he knows.
