In The China Play, Author Michael Winstead chronicles a foreign power's secret scheme to acquire valuable farmland. The perpetrators, embedded in America for decades, and abetted by an Atlanta law firm, are willing to do anything to get it.
Attorney Oakley Hitchcock, suspended from practicing law for one year, returns to his family's farm in south Georgia to wait out his suspension. "Hitch" soon discovers a reverse mortgage scheme has entrapped his parents and dozens of other landowners.
As they begin to probe, Hitch and legal assistant Natalie Anderson find themselves targets of a faceless force determined to keep its secret. If they can't unravel the scheme quickly, lives will be lost, and American land will fall into the hands of a ruthless enemy. When they file a class-action lawsuit, the clandestine conspiracy explodes into desperation and bloodshed.
The China Play delivers a chilling glimpse of the battle for rare resources and world supremacy, examining what will happen if a foreign country exploits the very legal system designed to protect us.
