About this ebook

Twelve years ago, Richard Yancey answered a blind ad in the newspaper offering a salary higher than what he’d made over the three previous years combined. It turned out that the job was for the Internal Revenue Service -- the most hated and feared organization in the federal government.

So Yancey became the man who got in his car, drove to your house, knocked on your door, and made you pay. Never mind that his car was littered with candy wrappers, his palms were sweaty, and he couldn’t remember where he stashed his own tax records. He was there on the authority of the United States government.

With "a rich mix of humor, horror, and angst [and] better than most novels on the bestseller lists" (Boston Sunday Globe), Confessions of a Tax Collector contains an astonishing cast of too-strange-for-fiction characters. But the most intriguing character of all is Yancey himself who -- in detailing how the job changed him and how he managed to pull himself back from the brink of moral, ethical, and spiritual bankruptcy -- reveals what really lies beneath those dark suits and mirrored sunglasses.

This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

I have read the sample TWICE so far and the firsr time was at around 3:00am & (totally not meaning to since others were asleep) i burst out laughing multiple times lol! i had no idea this would be written with humor and thought i was going to get some good & plain serious job-related information perhaps out of it. I was pleasantly surprised & now I am kind of obsessed and can't wait to finish this whole gem of a lovely book & hopefully find more from this immensely likable author ASAP...yea...i recommend for anyone who has ever had a job for then the lonely awkward unpleasantness of your past experiences/memories would forever be banished as you will find within here an understanding soul...lol.. a TRUE đź’Žđź’Žđź’Ž G E M đź’Žđź’Žđź’Ž
