Larry B. Max is an unusual specialist from a little-known branch of the IRS, the all-powerful tax-collecting agency of the United States. Reading into tax-evasion and money-laundering rings the way a virtuoso pianist would read Mozart, Max has every technological method at his disposal to find links between high finance and high crime. In this first volume, he looks into a particularly delicate file: a rich Jewish-American known for his involvement in recovering items that had been confiscated by the Nazis. Where does this billionaire's fortune come from?
