After a career spent working as a chief financial officer and controller, Boston College graduate Robert Ainsworth ’75 decided to write mysteries. He created the character of Harry Bartlett, a financial executive turned fraud detective. Bartlett has appeared in four books written by Ainsworth: Conned, Duped, Scammed, and Ponzi’d. In Conned, Harry’s best friend is murdered on Nantucket and the trail leads to a world of scams and con artists. Duped brings Harry and his ex-mobster uncle together in a search for stolen artwork. Scammed finds Harry on a simple missing persons case, that’s not so simple. In the fourth book, Ponzi’d, readers go back to 1920s Boston when Harry’s grandfather encountered infamous swindler Charles Ponzi. Ainsworth, who graduated from the Carroll School of Management with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, says he uncovered several embezzlement schemes during the course of his career.
