They built their lives and businesses on my disappearance.
I built a case.
At twenty-nine, I joined the FBI. At first, I did not investigate my family. I knew I was too close to it, and I respected that. I worked financial crimes. Fraud. Wire transfers. Shell nonprofits. Fake invoices. Quiet theft carried out by people who believed prison was meant for desperate men, not well-dressed ones.
Then one report crossed my desk with a name I had not said out loud in years: Richard Hale.
His company had received federal grant money through a nonprofit partner. That nonprofit was tied to Linda’s foundation. The foundation had paid consulting fees to Brooke’s media company. Mason’s development firm had received funds for “community housing,” then built luxury rentals instead.
