Ray Adams, a downtrodden engineer on the surface, looks like a man blessed with happiness. But deep down his life is in turmoil filled with deception and fraud, both from friends he trusted.
Once a decent citizen, life events makes him the most wanted man of his enemies and police for faking famous paintings, murder and dealing in unsaleable properties due to High Street retail downturn.
His aim to prove to the Government how their systems have failed to keep up with the rise in fraud and deception. His mesmerising rise from a downtrodden life to controlling a major stake in the UK economy.
Ray’s fraud starts in the East End of London and then stretches to Liverpool. There he hides the paintings in a church that only one person knows about. On his death bed, he issues instructions to his disabled stepson by way of a cryptic clue to enable him to find the fake paintings and jewellery. Only he knows that they were the missing originals of Van Gough’s futile efforts.
Using construction projects as a front to create a scandal involving asset stripping and creative accounting, events cause Ray Adams – The Rat – to create a multi-million-pound fraud which can’t be proven and he escapes as a master criminal.
