Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction. Las Vegas, Nevada - the hottest real estate market in the nation and ground zero in the crash, the epicenter of the collusion that caused the bubble to inflate dangerously beyond its means and inevitably burst. At the helm of Nevada during its biggest growth spurt - Governor Kenny Guinn, a self-made man who secretly had millions of reasons to look the other way as the mortgage lending market went mad. The Anointed Son: A True Story of Greed, Power and Blind Trust is the story of Kenny Guinn and his son, Jeff, and the investors who bet on a sure thing and lost. It's a story of drugs, political corruption, and family dysfunction.
