Boundless ambition fuels Ed Liedco's dream of building his own boatyard-despite having no funds and no conscience. Ruthless, cunning, and unapologetically self-serving, Ed will use any money he can get his hands on, regardless of the source. When a naïve investor hands him $70,000, Ed pockets the funds without leaving a trace.
In the midst of Ed's schemes stands Olga-a recently retired accountant with a sterling reputation. Hired to manage Ed's current yard, she quickly becomes his only trusted employee. But as she uncovers financial deception, missing payroll funds, and falsified reports, Olga is torn between professional loyalty and personal integrity.
As investor Blair begins to suspect fraud and Olga's marriage falters under the strain of suspicion and stress, Ed crosses a final line that pushes Olga to walk away without warning. Her exit is met with betrayal and lies-decisions that will ultimately unravel Ed's carefully manipulated world.
A sharp, layered novel of power, deceit, and reckoning, Entry of the Machiavellian Man delves into the cost of unchecked ambition-and the quiet strength of a woman who chooses truth over compromise.
