There is no doubt that corruption is a serious and destructive crime that goes back to the beginning of time and even today continues to infect authorities and governments everywhere. Even a small, local community in New York is not spared from it. Author John W. Lynn took a stand against corruption and government bullies. Readers will be shocked to read about what happened to him in Highgate to Hell: An unbelievable but true story of Government crime, corruption, deception, and racial discrimination released through Xlibris. Lynn’s true story begins in Pomona, a village of less than three thousand people located twenty miles north of New York City. In this small village a series of horrific acts were committed by government officials that affected many individuals, families, and businesses. Described in vivid detail, this book reveals the impact that these criminal acts and outrageous cover-ups had on the lives of innocent people. Having witnessed and been a victim of these events himself, the author reveals how those who tried to help him retreated out of fear and intimidation due to the destructive, malicious people that used their political influence and connections. This is particularly relevant in today’s economic climate as it underscores the need for everyone to abhor destructive behavior on the part of government officials who abuse their power for selfish gains instead of serving the public who elected them. Highgate to Hell promises to give readers an informative look at corruption at the State and Federal level but goes further in that it demonstrates that anyone could fall victim to this kind of political abuse.
