(PRLeap.com) "The Gun Auditor," a new book by Paul Franke, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.A gripping new crime thriller exposes the dangerous intersections of corporate finance, international weapons manufacturing, and personal integrity. Author Paul Franke draws on his extensive background in corporate auditing to deliver "The Gun Auditor." This pulse-pounding novel challenges the true cost of holding onto one's ethics in a world built on compromise.
The story follows Patrick Kelly, an ambitious accountant who believes his small-town roots are far behind him after landing a coveted role at the prestigious Washington, D.C., firm Caulfield & Gallagher. Armed with a 3.9 GPA from Mountain State Community College and ironclad ethics, Patrick is determined to prove that honesty and strict rules can lead to corporate success.
Patrick's trajectory changes drastically when his unexpected knowledge of firearms lands him a spot on the independent audit team for ArmaCore, a powerful international weapons manufacturer. Inside the corridors of big-money defense contracting, he quickly discovers that corporate ledgers can lie, rules can bend, and the moral flexibility he rejected from his gun-dealing, preacher father might be his only tool for survival. Patrick is thrust into a high-stakes web of deception where a single audit could expose deadly secrets or cost him his life.
