WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“Who would believe a first novel about Medicaid fraud, deep personal loyalties and a nefarious military operation could hold a reader’s attention in that “can’t put it down” way? An intriguing cast of characters takes the reader through turf-guarding state agencies, the ego wars of bureaucrats, artificial intelligence in computer innovations, and a smart, creative team freed from the normal rules of investigation to catch the crooks. The hero, Webb Espy, is the rare anomaly of a millionaire who wants to be a public servant giving his team resources far beyond their meager state budget. Scenes describing the brutal strict codes that govern people on the other side are a blunt reminder of why they are loyal. The brilliant bad guy has unlimited financial and federal political resources and is willing to do anything, including murder, to keep the scheme alive. From the rolling turkey hunting hills of the Florida panhandle, to the small Cuban cafés of Little Havana in Miami, to the inner workings of a super-sleuth team about to recover millions in fraudulent payments, you become entranced with the humorous, complex and compelling details. A baseball theme runs through the book. John M. Whiddon took the first pitch and knocked it out of the park with The Sunshine Shenanigan.”

“Move over a bit Grisham. There is a new yarn spinner in town!!!”
— Melissa Spradley

“A scary insight into the Medicaid and Medicare rip off by fraudulent pharmacies and mafia type criminals! Although fictional, Whiddon weaves a believable tale of intrigue and suspense. His characters come to life with stunning clarity fitting the mold of their intended part in discovering and unraveling a monstrous fraud ring.”
— Deborah Wallace

“If you are looking for a bit of insight into the criminal world, this novel is for you. Whiddon describes the greedy, seedy characters within the pages with passion.
What a read!!!”
