    Troubled waters hide deadly secrets …

    Nathan's story of a fishing trip gone awry doesn't quite add up, and suspicion mounts. The mysterious murder of Nathan's multi-millionaire grandfather a few years before had made Nathan's mother an extremely wealthy woman. With a seven-million-dollar fortune at stake, did Nathan commit the ultimate betrayal? Or is there more to this tragic tale than meets the eye? 
      
    From New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman comes a gripping contemporary true crime narrative for everyone who was fascinated by the Murdaugh murders, and for anyone compelled by the intersection between money, power, and family.

    An economic system refers to the structure and methods a society uses to produce, distribute, and consume goods and services. It defines how resources are allocated, how wealth is distributed, and how economic decisions are made. Different societies have developed various economic systems over time, influenced by their unique historical, cultural, and political contexts. Among these systems, capitalism and communism are two of the most prominent and contrasting economic ideologies that have shaped the global landscape. 
    Capitalism is an economic system that operates on the principles of private ownership and free markets. In capitalism, individuals or businesses own the means of production and are free to make decisions regarding what to produce, how to produce it, and at what price to sell it. The market is driven by competition, and prices are determined by supply and demand. Profit motives incentivize innovation and efficiency, leading to economic growth and technological advancements. However, capitalism can also lead to inequality, as wealth tends to be concentrated among those who own the most resources, while others may struggle to access basic necessities. While the role of government in capitalism is typically limited, debates about regulation, social welfare, and economic justice persist. 
    In contrast, communism is an economic system grounded in collective ownership and centralized control. In a communist society, the means of production are owned by the state or collectively by the people, and wealth is distributed based on need rather than profit. Communism seeks to eliminate class distinctions, advocating for equality and fairness in wealth and resource distribution. The government plays a central role in planning and directing economic activities, including determining production levels and distribution of goods.

    Paris, often known as the "City of Light," is renowned for its iconic landmarks, romantic ambiance, and vibrant culture. Yet, beneath its grand boulevards and charming streets, lies an entirely different world—an underground labyrinth that has shaped the city in ways few know or understand. From ancient Roman origins to the modern-day metro system, Paris’s subterranean spaces are a testament to the ingenuity, mystery, and resilience of the city. 
    The underground world of Paris is not merely a collection of tunnels and chambers; it is a complex network that has served multiple purposes throughout the ages. Some of these spaces were created for practical reasons—such as the quarries that provided building materials for the city's growing skyline—while others evolved into places of mystique and darkness, such as the famous Catacombs, now home to the remains of millions. What began as a means of resource extraction gradually became a vault of history, culture, and secrets. 
    This book delves into the hidden depths beneath Paris’s streets, exploring the lesser-known aspects of the city's subterranean heritage. It examines the origins of these tunnels, from the Romans who first began to carve through the limestone to the workers who later expanded them into extensive catacombs. It also explores the multifaceted role these spaces have played throughout history: as a refuge during times of war, as a setting for revolutionary movements, and as a sanctuary for those who choose to live outside the city's mainstream society.
