Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A debt can survive for decades.What matters is who finds it-and why.Federal asset recovery specialist Miles Harran notices a routine transfer buried in the intake queue: a thirty-four-year-old debt instrument pulled from a closed seizure file and transferred to a private company. The paperwork is valid. The amount is small. The woman named on the debt, Nora Becht, is a federal contracting officer scheduled to testify in a procurement investigation.Then Miles finds more.Dormant loans. Personal guarantees. Co-signor obligations. All legally valid. All drawn from forgotten federal records. And all transferred to private buyers who appear to have little interest in collecting the money.The people attached to those debts have something else in common: careers inside procurement, contracting, appropriations, and government oversight.Someone has discovered that an old obligation does not need to be collected to have value.It only needs to exist.Following a trail through receivership archives, shell companies, attorneys, and decades-old administrative gaps, Miles begins reconstructing an operation built almost entirely from lawful transactions. Every document is real. Every transfer has an explanation.
