The Tainted Trust

The Tainted Trust, (VOL. 2 OF THE KING TRILOGY), is, in addition to a moving and action packed thriller, a brilliant depiction of what perfectly normal people will do for love and money.


Servito left $325,000,000 when his wife, Karen killed him in Caracas. He had accumulated the fortune the old fashioned way: he stole it. Using a brilliant gasoline tax evasion scam, he relieves the U.S. and Canadian Governments of the fortune, then kills everyone who can implicate him in his audacious theft. The money is hot, deposited in a Cayman Island bank, and it is cursed. It has a profound effect on everyone who touches it. It is managed by Alfred Schnieder, an aging and unscrupulous Caracas banker.  

 

 Mike King, the love of Karen’s life, convinces her to keep the money, instead of returning it to its rightful owners. The U.S. and Canadian Feds, desperate to recover the money, spare no expense and effort to do so. Phillip, the only child of Karen and Jim Servito, has his own greedy plans for the money. Alfred Schnieder relinquishes its management to Louis Visconti, substantially more unscrupulous than himself, and dubbed ‘The Crown Prince of Wall Street’.  

 

Kerri, Mike King’s estranged daughter, discovers the existence of the fortune and is shocked to learn that her natural father is its Trustee. She has not seen or communicated with him since she was nine. Visconti, assuming he is the smartest man in the room, embezzles the fortune and flees to Monaco. He made only one mistake. He fell in love with Kerri.
