Code 936

by Bill Kimbrell Jr.

James Cantrill, hard-working businessman, family man, the guy next door, thinks he's having a day from hell when he is unexpectedly fired. But, hell gets hotter- he's kidnapped, hustled onto a corporate jet, and smuggled to Puerto Rico. There he finds himself embroiled in a brutal, global conspiracy, involving CODE 936, the obscure IRS tax code which secretly benefits hundreds of huge manufacturers in Puerto Rico. What James knows may get him killed. Out of her mind with worry, Trish, his partner and wife, struggles to find him. She, his daughters, friends, his trusted lawyer, and, finally, the FBI endeavor to discover his whereabouts while trying to penetrate this airtight cover-up. They soon learn that a number of ruthless people will go to any length to make sure James is never found and the truth is never revealed. Powerfully evocative and steeped in international intrigue, CODE 936, is a riveting expose' of the IRS tax code, corporate greed, medical fraud, torture, corporate corruption, and managed healthcare. It is also a story of love, undaunted courage, and spiritual triumph.

[Stacie Haden · Rating 3 out of 5]

There is a good book hidden in these pages. I'm sure Mr Kimbrell is a very nice man and that is why no one had the guts to tell him to correct some irritating flaws-from the overuse of the words "crawfishing" and "perfidy", to the contradiction of Bible verses on the same pages as curse words, to the rambling page after page after page about the tumultuous feelings a person experiences when being fired from a life long career to the often extremely unrealistic responses to other events in the story.
Why 3 stars, and not less?
If he cut the book in half, it would be excellent!
Do it Mr. Kimbrell- take out the rambling (especially the first 100 pages that need to be condensed to 20)- edit the heck out of it and republish. You might have a best seller!
