Oh dear! I just realized I have no time, but I have plenty of time to panic. I think the panic set in when I realized I have eleven people coming for Thanksgiving dinner, but I only have enough flatware for 10. I was all fine and dandy thinking Thanksgiving will be easy, until I counted only ten forks and knives. That’s when my ToDo list all of the sudden got ten feet high (not eleven feet) and smooshed me. Thank golly hubby found a bag of gummy treats in the cupboard. Crazy has been calmed for now.

Shell Game
Joseph Badal
(24 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
“Shell Game is a financial thriller using the economic environment created by the capital markets meltdown that began in 2007 as the backdrop for a timely, dramatic, and hair-raising tale. Joseph Badal weaves an intricate and realistic story about how a family and its business are put into jeopardy through heavy-handed, arbitrary rules set down by federal banking regulators, and by the actions of a sociopath in league with a corrupt bank regulator.
Like all of Badal’s novels, “Shell Game” takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of action and intrigue carried on the shoulders of believable, often diabolical characters. Although a work of fiction, “Shell Game,” through its protagonist Edward Winter, provides an understandable explanation of one of the main reasons the U.S. economy continues to languish. It is a commentary on what federal regulators are doing to the United States banking community today and, as a result, the damage they are inflicting on perfectly sound businesses and private investors across the country and on the overall U.S. economy.
