A dramatic page-turner, The Conciliators is chock-full of danger and excitement featuring successful but beleaguered car dealer Preston Wilson in the fight of his life. Set in New York City, Wilson faces his toughest challenges yet. Whether it's the FBI, the Mafia or the bank, Preston stands to lose everything and bring down everyone close to him.

In Kaufman's new book, The Conciliators, Preston Wilson's life is imploding and he is surprised to learn who the catalyst is for this crisis. Under fire, thanks to the diabolical financial shenanigans of a prep school roommate, the CEO finds himself in trouble again. If he doesn't come up with a plan—and quickly—he could lose everything and find himself, his wife, and his shareholders in prison. Inspired by Joe Hart's life lessons, Preston sets a new course, vowing to fight for what matters most: his family, his friends, and the Collectibles.

In the first two books, readers get to know The Collectibles and how they have changed Preston's life for the better. In The Collectibles, Book I, Preston Wilson's automobile empire is in danger and he seeks the help of attorney Joe Hart, who he believes is the only man that can help him. Two strong men from different worlds, both touched by tragedy, who are brought together by a promise that changes six lives forever.

In The Concealers, Book II, readers meet Katherine Kelly, a budding journalist, driven to find the truth. As she finishes her degree, her professor challenges her with one final assignment that leads her to the identity of her father. As she starts to build a relationship with her father, she is torn when she discovers that he is a suspect in a Federal bank fraud investigation she is covering.
