(942) The Millionaires by Brad Meltzer

If there is a sum of three million dollars, the owner is dead with no heir; at a certain date it will be transferred to Uncle Sam, will you take it? Two brothers did and almost died in the process of running away from some rouge government agents.

Everyone has a price, so it is said. We would like to think that we will choose not to be corrupted, but is it possible? There was a Malaysian accountant who was sent to Hong Kong quite a number of years ago to audit some accounts. He discovered some irregularities but failed to report it immediately, he was murdered. On the one hand, one likes to be honest; but on the other hand, it may be dangerous to be absolutely honest without being wise.

May the good Lord give wisdom to every person with integrity.
