About THE Book

The Capital Underground

Twenty years after his disappearance into the U.S. Federal Witness Protection Program, Aristotle Hirsch is summoned – coerced might be a better word – by a Presidential Task Force to emerge from his covert and safe status. Ari’s already complicated world is suddenly turned upside down when he is faced with making a painful choice: participate in a monumental case involving national security, or risk his very own freedom. It would include a whirlwind investigation and international trial that might lead to the discovery of a potentially gigantic cache of riches in one of the world’s most secret and sophisticated tax havens.

His choice could also shed more light on the deception and casualties of America’s forty-year War on Drugs, enormous government avarice, and the assault on the nation’s most precious legal documents – the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Ari knows his life might come to an end, similar to the way it might have been extinguished two decades prior in a thunderous explosion. Innate intelligence, knowledge of underground activities, and personal and professional experiences would be the factors in helping him make the most conflicted decision he would ever face.
