“An eloquent, unblinking cautionary tale of hidden puppeteers playing power games… the story draws on the CIA’s notorious MKUltra project, which forms the novel’s all too real backdrop.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Reading Money Boss felt honest & heavy at the same time. I connected with John Rager’s inner conflict & the courage it took to act when faced with the truth. The northern Ontario setting added a stark, real backdrop that stayed with me. It came across less like a distant story & more like witnessing someone’s struggle to do what’s right in a broken system.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Money Boss is a compelling exploration of conscience, courage, and the human cost of institutional neglect. Perfect for readers of historical fiction, social justice narratives, and those seeking stories that confront uncomfortable truths while offering a glimmer of redemption. I was drawn to the moral urgency of the story and the vivid atmosphere, including a land of lakes, rivers, bogs, and endless coniferous forest, painted with the authenticity of a place as isolated as it is alive.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A very well-written book, engaging and intriguing. It is through the characters that you get to experience the social and political issues of the time in this remote place—an interesting story with deep moral issues.
