This discovery could very well destroy the company, the reputations of its partners as well as their massive personal fortunes. <br>And then— another partner is killed. As dead bodies start piling up, Wainwright’s questioning of why they were murdered turns to who is the murderer? Are the murders connected to the fraud? Is the killer inside the company? Which of his remaining partners can he trust? The company’s survival is at stake. Other lives are at stake, especially Wainwright’s. The SEC is watching. The financial community is watching. The Tipping Point is moving toward a fall. <br>The Tipping Point is a story with a complex and compelling plot.
