Anyone who reads the news would already know that political life always has been driven by the greedy rich extracting wealth from others. With corruption infecting legal, judicial, law-enforcement, and banking systems around the world, one could be excused for giving up hope. What does “corruption” even mean once it’s normalized? I thoroughly enjoyed following Alley and his fellow Global Witness compatriots on their adventures into dangerous places. The world needs more organizations willing to do the challenging work to uncover corruption and bring it to light. I would recommend this book to anyone. Calliope accepts, stepping into the exhilarating world of the “ghosts,” a society of revolutionaries fighting for social justice. But when Haunt and Rail commits to exposing a dangerous person on campus, it becomes clear that some ghosts define justice differently than others. This book is about following the money, going undercover in the world’s most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes.
