The Fixer, Finder - B-

                                               Down and out Rick Hoffman, who once had a future in journalism, is sleeping in his father's run-down house when he discovers $3.4M in hundred dollar bills behind a partition. His dad has been in a nursing home and unable to speak for 18 years. When Rick is seen spending a few bucks, let's say $6,000 in cash for dinner with an old flame, he attracts some unwanted attention. It seems that his dad was the 'Fixer' of the title, who while practicing law in a seedy section of Boston, had been the intermediary "cash bank" that fueled the city. The further Rick digs into his dad's story, the deeper he gets into the crime and corruption that was rampant in Boston during the construction of the Big Dig.  What he finds scares some very serious people, and all of a sudden, Rick is on the run.  He gets badly beaten and almost killed. However, he manages a wonderful expose in an on-line magazine, puts some bad guys behind bars and rescues his career and life.
