In a world plagued by corrupt corporations and sinister forces that
prowl the global landscape, John "Jack" Madson seeks salvation from deep
within the man he is today and the man he aspires to be. In the
tradition of Raymond Chandler, John Grisham, and Michael Connelly, this
crime fiction series launches with three noir thrillers bristling with
authenticity, insight, and social commentary. From the boardrooms of
Wall Street, to the steamy backstreets of Bangkok, to the secret Triads
of Shanghai, award-winning author Ron Felber, originator of the FOX
television series The Mob Doctor, takes his reader into the violent,
surreal, and sex-crazed underbelly of 21st century America, the "empire
in decline." Witty, riveting, and diabolically clever, the
heart-pounding pace, exotic locales, and unforgettable characters make
the "Jack Madson" series a welcomed innovation within the genre of crime
fiction. A Man of Indeterminate Value (Book 1), introduces ex-cop Jack
Madson as a disgraced Wall Street take-over artist and target of a
failed suicide scam that leaves him the "most wanted" man in the Garden
State of NJ. Madson is on a personal mission to take on corporate forces
hell-bent on his destruction as they seek to IPO game-changing
bio-medical technology to the Street worth hundreds of billions of
dollars.
