Blue Trust: The Author, the Lawyer, His Wife, and Her Money

An extremely tight and unmarked copy-" Bruce Verchere was a highly respected tax lawyer whose clients included Brian Mulroney, Canada's prime minister; Arthur Hailey, one of the world's best-selling novelists; and the Swiss Bank Corporation, Switzerland's second-largest bank. Lynn Verechere was a computer software entrepreneur whose innovative systems, licensed by IBM, helped revolutionize the management of law offices throughout North America. After years of the intricate manipulation that was his stock-in-trade, Bruce deployed the family's private trust, myriad bank accounts, and offshore companies to secrete their wealth beyond the reach of the taxman and even of his wife. Then he fell in love. A desperate affair, a dangerous ultimatum, and a deepening morass from which there was only one escape built to a chilling climax whose reverberations are felt to this day. Blue Trust is a compelling true story of ambition, excess, and revenge. It's an intimate portrait of marriage, and a complex tale of high tragedy, told by one of the most admired chroniclers of our times."
