The Fabufestan Exposés (Books I & II) by Ralph Hancox: Con Job and Scandalous
Ralph Hancox, Professional Fellow and Adjunct Professor, Emeritus, at Simon Fraser University's Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing, and author of Managing the Publishing Process, a groundbreaking book designed to demonstrate how creativity and commerce can be managed in a facilitative environment, has a social conscience. His concern about "major social horrors confronting humanity"; prompted this former president of Reader's Digest Canada write the The Fabufestan Exposés. The first novel in this series tackles the illicit drug trade; the second, human trafficking. Hancox combines compelling details about these issues with an engaging narrative that follows the tribulations of a documentary film crew.
In Con Job (Book I of The Fabufestan Exposés), Gregor "Legs"; Morowitz, on parole and virtually destitute, is offered his old job back at a Canadian documentary and advertising company. The owners want Legs to head the team investigating the illegal drug trade in North America for a new TV documentary series called Look at the Evidence. As production begins, Legs faces a wary, even hostile, crew, and then a series of personal setbacks. As the company battles anonymous enemies on multiple fronts, the owners take decisive but sometimes wrong-headed action. Things are not quite as they appear. Getting to the truth demands a hard look at the evidence.
In Scandalous (Book II of The Fabufestan Exposés), the documentary crew discovers that the subject of its latest TV documentary has morphed into three separate issues: human trafficking, people smuggling and bogus refugees. Meanwhile, the new provincial government is reeling from its first political crisis-a high profile sex scandal involving three of its elected members, charged with sex tourism and trafficking underage Thai prostitutes to Canada. The premier entrusts Angus McRossie, her Minister for Democratic Action, with crisis management. McRossie's wife objects to his involvement in such a sordid affair, and McRossie's personal life and political career start to unravel from there.
