Phantom Money

Phantom Money

Prodigious amounts of illegal drugs are transported across the USA’s southern border by cartels despite the best efforts of law enforcement. These shipments generate hundreds of millions in cash profits – profits the cartels would like to reinvest in legitimate business ventures on this side of the border. However, converting mountains of illicit cash into clean investible dollars is not a simple matter. The AML (anti-money laundering) laws in this country were designed to thwart this transmutation (a good thing).

My latest novel, PHANTOM MONEY, is about a brilliant lawyer in Los Angeles who is forced to concoct and implement an ingenious money laundering scheme for a ruthless drug cartel. The plot is complicated of necessity. Evading the network of AML laws is not a simple matter. That is particularly true when you’re tasked with laundering $100 million in a very short time frame. The attorney at the center of Phantom Money, Declan Collins, has his work cut for him. Staying alive is job one. Staying out of jail is a close second.
