The China Play: A Legal Thriller - Paperback

by Michael Winstead (Author)

A foreign power is secretly acquiring American farmland and is willing to do anything-including murder--
to succeed. Attorney Oakley Hitchcock, suspended from practicing law for one year, returns to his family's farm in south Georgia to wait out his suspension. "Hitch" soon discovers a reverse mortgage scheme has entrapped his parents and dozens of other landowners. As they begin to probe, Hitch and legal assistant Natalie Anderson find themselves targets of a faceless force determined to keep its secret. If they can't unravel the scheme quickly, lives will be lost, and American land will fall into the hands of a ruthless enemy. They file a class-action lawsuit, and the clandestine conspiracy explodes into desperation and bloodshed. The China Play delivers a chilling glimpse of the battle for rare resources and world supremacy, examining what will happen if a foreign country exploits the very legal system designed to protect us.
