• Rudiger Comes Alive — Rudiger Story #1

Hotshot Wall Streeter Walter Conklin is a wunderkind hedge fund manager who runs a $1 billion technology fund. He's on a roll until his CFO cooks the books to overstate their results to raise more money. The only way out for Conklin is to insist his CFO keep cooking them until he can equal those returns. But the Feds are on to him, so Conklin needs to act fast before they can throw him in jail — just as the NASDAQ crashes from its historic highs.

• Rudiger in the Islands — Rudiger Story #2

Fugitive financier John Rudiger adopts Antigua as his new home: he's building a house and settling in to the islands way of life. Then Charlie Holden, Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York, gets a tip and sends one of his staff lawyers down to get the goods on Rudiger and extradite him to stand trial. In order to outwit Holden and his man, Rudiger needs to establish his credentials as an Antiguan national, so he enlists the help of the double-dealing local police — who will sell their allegiance to the highest bidder. Rudiger is forced to think on the fly to adapt to the machinations of both parties as he improvises to try to stay out of jail.

• Rudiger in Peril — Rudiger Story #3

After fugitive financier John Rudiger settles into Antigua as his new home, he gets a surprising phone call from Charlie Holden, Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York, who's been trying to extradite Rudiger back to the U.S. to stand trial. Holden tells Rudiger his former partner and CFO has been murdered in the U.S. by one of Rudiger's hedge fund investors who lost millions and is out for revenge. And the investor's hired killer is now in Antigua stalking Rudiger. Rudiger is forced to align himself with Holden as an unlikely ally as he tries to figure out which of his investors could be after him and help Holden stop him — before the hitman catches up with Rudiger.

• Rudiger — Rudiger Story #4

John Rudiger, a fugitive financier living under an alias in the Caribbean, who ran off with close to $100 million from his hedge fund, is down to his last $2 million. Katie Dolan, a lawyer with the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York, is sent to Antigua to try to get enough evidence to extradite Rudiger back to the U.S. to stand trial. Rudiger recruits her to help him retrieve $50 million of bearer bonds from a safe deposit box in New York.

Katie is no dope, and neither is Rudiger, and each one has to figure out who's scamming who as they work their plan to sneak the bonds out from under the nose of Charlie Holden, Katie's boss, the Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York, who's wise to both of them.
