WHISTLEBLOWER Book II of the Lucy Trilogy A novel that explores the risky world of whistleblowers. In book two, Lucy is determined to leave behind her memories of the self-described prophet whose psychological manipulations and cult-like religion resulted in the death of her younger brother. While she escaped, she is convinced that the Prophet has neither forgotten nor forgiven her for his disgrace and the loss of the large sums of money he stole from his congregation in her small Alberta town. Lucy now lives in Ontario and is the manager and CFO of a branch office of a large children’s charity. An accountant in her office draws Lucy’s attention to apparent financial wrongdoing by the charity’s senior management. Lucy is already suspicious about discrepancies in the financial reports of the main office. Should she bring the matter to the attention of the Board of Directors, knowing that she will be labelled a whistleblower? She knows she will likely suffer the ugly consequences of such an unpopular action. Does she want to risk her new friendships? Does she want weeks of publicity when her deepest fear is that nationwide media coverage may make her whereabouts known to the Prophet? |
