Synopsis

'The man with whom I was dining was a killer. And he was now feeling at ease, courtesy of a fake interview with a federal prosecutor, in which my fake legal memorandum, used to perpetrate a fraud, was being used to exonerate the two of us. I didn't know whom I could trust.'

Trust no one. Jason Kolarich is investigating the murder of Ernesto Ramirez, a key witness in a criminal case that he tried. Jason had been pushing him for information, but all he got was the guy's death on his conscience. Who murdered Ramirez, and why?

When the evidence leads to an obscure agency in state government, Jason is hood-winked into being a federal informant. The feds are desperate to build their case against the government, but Jason's got his own agenda. Will he be an asset to their case, or will he prove to be a live wire? In this riveting thriller Ellis relies on his experience and expertise to deliver a gritty tale of political corruption and murder at the highest levels of government.

From the Back Cover:

Jason Kolarich does not believe he will be around to see this story told. A witness from a past case, whom Jason had persuaded to testify, has been murdered. Was it Jason's fault? As he wrestles with his own feelings of guilt, he becomes increasingly involved in an obscure government agency, which at first seems to hold the answers. But he is soon in the centre of a complex conspiracy. Forced to become a federal informant, he has no idea how deep the corruption goes, and can see no clear way out. Fast-paced and expertly plotted Breach of Trust is a thriller you will never forget.
