"This novel is hard to put down. Honest salesman coupled with corrupt dealers make The Sopranos look like child's play." -Heritage Florida Jewish News Can Eddy Ackerman, a thirty-five-year-old professed loser, liquidate his shortfalls while trying to find success helping failing business owners transition to a new life through liquidation sales? Eddy inherits a retail furniture store from his deceased father. On the day his business goes belly up, his wife walks out on him and cleans out their bank account. He goes to work for what appears to be a reputable liquidation company, but it's more than it appears to be. He gets caught up in the criminal world and finds himself in a life-or-death struggle to survive. Can his father's past connection to his new boss teach him the true meaning of success, or will it get him killed? Eddy's journey illuminates failure and liquidation as integral parts of our lives. And like the Phoenix, we rise from the ashes, hopefully in one piece and better for it.
