Fiction Based on Real Cases

Stories inspired by true crimes

As only a forensic accounting investigator Tom Golden could tell

As only a real fraud investigator could tell

Tom Golden was not your average accountant. He began his career as one, but after uncovering a massive leasing fraud on his first public company audit, he had found a new career. That was his first and last audit. He became a Forensic Accounting Investigator, devoting his career to uncovering financial fraud, and never looked back.

Thirty-some years later, he now writes novels inspired by the many investigations he has conducted around the globe. Forensic accountants are the Navy SEALs of the accounting industry.

The work of forensic accounting investigators is exciting and makes for gripping thrillers. Guaranteed to give you what you have come to expect from Thrillers… fast-paced and filled with conflict and ever-changing, unexpected twists and turns all the way to an ending you never would have expected.

Tom’s novels are authentic. He literally wrote the book on accounting fraud: A Guide to Forensic Accounting Investigation.

Real criminal cases — now fast-paced Thrillers!

Linda S.

I LOVED IT… a great read and I can’t wait to read Sam’s next adventure… The forensic side of the book is exciting and captivating, but I liked the personal side. Getting in Sam’s head at what makes him “tick” was my favorite. I love that the author made the hero human and damaged and successful all at once. It gives people reading it…hope.

Joseph W.

Tom Golden is destined to become the John Grisham of forensic accounting thrillers.

Ohikueme M

From a Forensic Accountant based in Nigeria: “You have truly set a standard with this Forensic Accounting novel that will compete with the legal thrillers we are used to. Sam Halloran is a great and passionate character…I can’t wait for the next in the series…Maybe someday will see it on the big screen!

Phillip R.

Sunday Night Fears is an exciting, page turning thriller that captures your attention in the first few pages!…Golden hits a home run…! I couldn’t put this book down…

Mike D.

From a retired FBI Special Agent: “Finally, an accounting fraud thriller! And written by someone who’s made a career out of financial crime investigations… A fresh alternative to the tired legal/crime genre.

Susan A.

The fraud scheme detailed in the book was realistic and clever, and explained in a way that any reader could understand. The book concludes with an unpredictable – and surprisingly inspiring – ending, leaving me wanting to learn more about Sam as both a person and his adventures in forensic accounting…

Emily N.

I found the characters to be so fresh and interesting. Finally, someone has taken the tired lawyer/police tales and made it fresh with a forensic focus…

Sara P.

By weaving together plot threads involving Sam’s home life and work life and by emphasizing the connection between Sam’s troubled past and his current emotional issues, the author builds tension and suspense and continually surprises the reader–even until the very end.
