- from the jacket: "Blue Trust has all the ingredients of a gripping thriller - except it's all true. In the late 1980's Bruce and Lynne Verchere had it all. He was a successful tax lawyer whose clients included Brian Mulroney, and best-selling novelist Arthur Hailey. She was a computer software entrepreneur whose innovative systems revolutionized office management throughout North America. When Lynne's company was sold, Bruce could suddenly afford the extravagances he had so long coveted: a plane, a yacht, a summer home in Maine, and a condo in Telluride. Through intricate manipulation, he was able to secrete his family's wealth beyond the reach of the tax man and even his wife. Then Bruce Verchere fell in love. The desperate affair and dangerous ultimatum that followed provide this true story with a chilling climax. Blue Trust is a complex tale of high drama, brilliantly told by one of Canada's most admired investigative journalists.
