Larceny
When greed is your mistress and power her aphrodisiac,
people become expendable.
When self-made millionaire, Richard Gillespie senses his empire is crumbling, he develops a complex plan to save his legacy. Gillespie
entices Dr. Bridgette Lonerghan, a university executive, to join his subterfuge in order to gain access to a valuable portfolio of inventions.
The inventor, Dr. Joseph Ralinski, pocketed millions from illegal side
deals over the years. Fed up with Ralinski’s self-dealing, high-ranking university officials including Provost Iconera; resolve to topple
Ralinski’s financial fortress.
Lonerghan becomes the target in a game of ego, greed and lust between Gillespie and his nemesis, Louis Jacobson – Lonerghan’s boss as well
as her former lover. Jacobsen’s initial attacks on Gillespie lose focus
when Jacobsen discovers his unfaithful wife is drugging him into
spousal submission and plots his revenge against both his former
lover and his wife.
The combination of Gillespie’s drive and determination underpinned by his sensual charm plus Lonerghan’s ruthless approach to business and her overwhelming beauty produce a mercurial union.“This deal is getting interesting,” Gillespie observes. “Three people, three angles. Jacobson, greed and selfishness; Iconera, self-righteousness coupled with mistrust; and finally Ralinski, self-importance
and arrogance. The only common denominator is ‘self’. The question is how to play this to gain
maximum advantage.
FBI involvement escalates the tension and the body count starts to rise.
Larceny is available in hard cover, paperback and e-book/Kindle versions.
