Description: The Bezzle by Cory Doctorow Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Money-laundering, cyber-knavery and shell-company chicanery: Marty Hench is an expert in them all. Hes Silicon Valleys most accomplished forensic accountant and well versed in the devious ways of Fortune 500s, divorcing oligarchs, and international drug cartels alike (and theres more crossover than you might imagine). Cory Doctorows hard-charging, read-in-one-sitting, techno take on the classic PI pulp novel.**Its 2006, and Marty Hench is at the top of his game as a self-employed forensic accountant, a veteran of the long guerrilla war between the people who want to hide money and the people who want to find it. He spends his downtime holidaying on Catalina Island, where scenic, imported bison wander the bluffs and frozen, reheated fast food burgers cost $25. (Wait, what?) When, during one vacation, Marty disrupts a seemingly innocuous scheme, he has no idea hes kicked off a chain of events that will overtake the next decade of his life. Because hes made his most dangerous mistake yet. Hes trespassed into the playgrounds of the ultra-wealthy and identified their latest target: Californias Department of Corrections, who manage the states prison system. Secure in the knowledge that theyre living behind far too many firewalls to be identified, the tycoons have hundreds of thousands of prisoners at their mercy, and the potential of millions of pounds to make off them.But now, Marty is about to ruin their fun... A seething rebuke of the privatized prison system that delves deeply into the arcane and baroque financial chicanery involved in the 2008 financial crash, The Bezzle is a red-hot follow up to Red Team Blues.
