Shannon O'Toole can't believe that she is in front of the US Congress, testifying about the unfathomable trillion dollar fraud being committed at the highest levels of government. A thrilling political exposé and part memoir with a great romance, Washington Siren travels back to Shannon's early days at the FDIC and the unthinkable antics and fraud that occurs under the noses of federal government managers. Shannon sidesteps outrageous efforts to quash her fraud discoveries and her career. Her legal background propels her through the quagmire of false documents, failed banks, lying government officials, and philandering managers. As she rises through the ranks of the FDIC and later becomes executive director for HUD, she travels frequently to Washington, DC, where she stumbles upon unbelievable, unethical, and illegal financial practices causing billions of dollars in loss to the national budget and American taxpayer. Now she has to try and correct the damage but political powers try to step in the way. Along the way, she meets an intriguing new man that she can't ignore, nor does she want to. Anyone familiar with the subprime mortgage disaster-the Big Short-can understand what happens next, as Shannon uncovers secrets about the FDIC, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the IRS. You will be fascinated by Shannon's journey and her struggles as a woman in a male-dominated career field. The true nature of the story and the enormity of the government's financial dysfunction will open your eyes to the problems of American politics. It's a story the public needs to hear, think about, talk about, and change.
