The whistle blower [large print] / by Merrill, Robin,author.;
"Work-at-home-mom Sandra's life is a whirlwind of activity. So, why's she so bored? When a referee drops dead during her son's soccer game, and a short man claiming to be an angel asks her to help investigate -- suddenly, life's not so boring. The angel (is he really an angel?) tells her to go undercover as a soccer referee, which, of course, is ridiculous. She hasn't run anywhere since high school. But Sandra will find out she is still capable of far more than she thought--with a little help from above."-- Back cover.

Fool me once : scams, stories, and secrets from the trillion-dollar fraud industry / by Pope, Kelly Richmond,1974-author.(CARDINAL)861126;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Intentional Perps -- Accidental Perps -- Righteous Perpetrators -- Innocent Bystanders -- Organizational Targets -- Accidental Whistleblowers -- Noble Whistleblowers -- Vigilante Whistleblowers -- Crossovers."Have you ever wondered why Bernie Madoff thought he could brazenly steal his clients' money? Or why investors were so easily duped by Elizabeth Holmes? Or how courageous people like Jeffrey Wigand are willing to become whistleblowers and put their careers on the line? Fraud is everywhere-from Nigerian "princes," embezzlers, and Ponzi schemers to corporate giants like Enron and Volkswagen. And fraud is costly. Each year, consumers, small businesses, governments, and corporations lose trillions of dollars. We've become so accustomed to hearing about fraud, we accept it as part of the world we live in today-so much so, that our abilities to identify it and speak about it are limited. No more. In Fool Me Once, renowned expert Kelly Richmond Pope shows fraud in action, uncovering what makes perps tick, victims so gullible, and whistleblowers so morally righteous, while also encouraging us to look at our own behaviors and motivations in the hopes of protecting ourselves and our companies. By the time you finish this book, you'll have a better understanding of-and perhaps more compassion for-perpetrators; a renewed connection to victims; and an appreciation for those who blow the whistle. Filled with fascinating stories and insightful analysis, Fool Me Once will open your eyes and challenge your thinking. It will inspire you to question your own preconceived notions and commonly held beliefs about people while providing an insider's view of a phenomenon that most of us fail to understand until it's too late"--

A true verdict / by Rotstein, Robert,1951-author.(CARDINAL)403340;
"MediMiracle Corporation manufactures Sophrosyne, a miracle cure for opiate addiction. Ellison Ricard, a research analyst for the company, claims to have uncovered data that proves Black users of Sophrosyne experience fatal side effects far more often than people of other races. When Ricard confronts MediMiracle's charismatic founder and CEO, Peyton Burke, a violent confrontation ensues. The wheelchair-bound Ricard--a Black man who had been severely injured years earlier--is fired that very day. Ricard turns to aging lawyer M. Bailey Klaus, to sue Burke and MediMiracle for civil rights violations, alleging that Ricard was fired because he blew the whistle on the coverup and because he was Black. Klaus faces off against his former protégé, Cicely Pagano, each arguing for drastically different versions of Ricard. Is he a brilliant, sincere, credible person who is rightfully standing up against a deadly product? Or is he a delusional, embittered, and avaricious liar who is taking advantage of his former employer? Ricard's fate rests with an eight-person jury who can't agree on anything. Working together to reach a consensus means navigating a tempest of the most divisive issues: politics, sexism, drug abuse, capitalism, healthcare, and racism. Can eight people with different backgrounds, ages, classes, and political views avoid coming to blows, much less render a true verdict? Told through court transcripts and jury deliberations, A True Verdict is a suspenseful ride to a shocking outcome ..." --
