Lloyd Gordon

The Dirty Money Trap is an eye-opener to anyone who loves a gripping thriller, a romantic story, and an adventure filled with crime, gang wars, drug trafficking, money laundering, and redemption. This is also about one man suffering the emotional abuses of childhood, and how acting out his rage against his over-bearing and abusive father extracts a terrible price.  Readers will resonate to the journey taken by Mat Crawford as he claws his way through life in the underworld, suffers through marital turmoil, and takes dramatic steps to move toward the light of a new day. With many twists and turns, action, intrigue and romance in scene after scene, and some very surprising finales, this is a gut-wrenching, compelling novel that will powerfully impact all your emotions. Grab hold, and prepare for the ride of your life! 

 

Novels about family ties and conflicts are often interesting, whereas a novel built around crime, bitterness, and redemption can be compelling. But what happens when you combine the two? In The Dirty Money Trap, novelist Lloyd Gordon weaves the sins of the father and the retribution of the son into a thriller that includes organized crime, drug trafficking, romance and suspense. This novel of intrigue offers surprises every step of the way. Mathew Crawford manages to survive his crime-investigator father, a callous and overbearing man whose demands are impossible to fulfill.  As Mat matures, he carries too many emotional scars. Despite the pleasures found in wife and home, a sudden disappointment taps into those years of insecurity and he is suddenly driven by bitterness.

 

 

A Quest for Justice.
 
Are you familiar with the frustration of feeling overly taxed and constrained by government regulations and the impersonal service of big business? 
 
Have you ever been fired, unfairly? 
 
Did you feel like you could explode inside at the injustice of it all? 
 
Now you're inside Mat Crawford's head, only he finds a solution for survival that few would have the nerve, or talent to carry off.
 
Except nothing's ever simple, is it?  Mat finds out that you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't follow the law. 
 

Author Gordon has crafted a fascinating story with answers not revealed until the surprising finale.
