– Isabel Mercedes Cumming, Inspector General, Baltimore City Office of the Inspector General, USAThis powerful book makes the definitive case for why government oversight matters with insights from the best guardians of the public trust – Will Fletcher, President, Association of Inspectors General, USAAbout The Author
