Lifetime Loser

After running a worn-out golf course on the east side of St. Louis for fifteen years, J. W. (J Dub) Schroeder learns that his partner had been skimming profits the entire time. But even worse, J Dub discovers that he was an unknowing participant in a decades-old swindle and a victim of fraud.

J Dub is thrown into a civil justice system that is lengthy and costly to protect his family and correct an evil secret that had been withheld from him for years.

The controlling partner, Lewferd E. Zerrmann, aligns himself with a dishonest attorney, a deceitful accountant, and a corrupt politician to derail a government investigation and an IRS audit. He survives title improprieties and outlasts an overzealous U. S. Attorney. No one seems to be able to penetrate the isolated walls of Lew’s fortress until J Dub steps up and risks it all to fight for what is his. Who said real life was anything like “the gentleman’s game?”
