Come and read the memoirs of a not-so-average self-made man. Follow J.D. Higgins from humble beginnings in rural Mississippi as a boy to a man of great political success. During a run for the U.S. Senate, an IRS scandal erupts saying that he owes more than his family has ever made combined. How could this be? After all, the government wouldn’t lie. Travel back into the thirties, a time before coverups were the norm. Only a man of great success known as J.D. Higgins could lead the government he works for on a manhunt of this great monetary level.

Customer Reviews
Worst piece of junk I've ever read
This is the first review I've ever written on amazon.com. I had to write it because this is the most awful excuse for a book I've ever encountered. It must be self-published because no respectable publishing house would have bothered with it. I'm disapppointed that my local library wasted the money to buy it. There's no plot, no real character development, not a single character one feels sympathy towards, no problem or resolution per se, just a random sequence of events that don't even give any credibility to the predictable ending. The things that happen are unrealistic and impossible. How could a Senator live on the lam without being found? I kept waiting for something that would tie the disparate events together but it never came. The 'excuse' for why nothing ever came together is in the last few sentences, but even that doesn't make it acceptable.
What can I say?
I found this book to be a monotone of predictability. I am not sure of what to make of the writer, I guess even the worst can be printed.
Great Imagination!
I throughly enjoyed this colorful character. As far as I am concerned the story could have gone on longer. I could never have thought of such a person as Higgins and take my hat off to Jeffrey Miller.
I take issue with the previous low ratings on this book.
