CULTURAL & SOCIAL NOVELS

The Taking of Newport The Taking of Newport, based solely on fictional characters, locations, and events, travels from the sooty corners of New Jersey to the wind-freshened sights and inner social life of Newport. The scenic atmosphere takes in a taste of Providence's Mafia past, as well as Newport's historical and present-day makeup. Regional characters include the demise and resurrection of Owen Lynch, a local FBI agent, along with the shortcomings of several local police officials. Every ingredient required for a suspenseful eye-opener is thrown in to thicken the plot.

Though the plan was pure genius, Gerard discovers that compatible working relationships are a major hassle even in the dark world of thieves. The Taking of Newport transports the reader into the hearts and minds of actual thieves, as well as their nemesis the law enforcement community.

Attitudes, motives, and reactions of both sides prove hauntingly similar.

Tunnel-Town: A Business Novel This book is about two childhood friends from the poorer side of town—known as “Tunnel-Town” by the locals because a railroad tunnel ran through it—who took opposite routes in search of lucrative business careers. One, Jimmy Mason, went straight and became chief executive of a large company, only to fall from power and serve time in the penitentiary for breaking foreign corruption laws. The other, Marshall Andrews, started out as a mobster, also served time after being convicted under the RICO law, but later became a legitimate successful business executive of his own company after inventing and marketing a novel device used on virtually every automobile built today. After pursuing their own separate careers for twenty years, they unite when Andrews asks Mason to chair the board of his new company. The author weaves both stories together in a compelling narrative that illustrates the risks, rewards, and frustrations of climbing the corporate ladder. Your Cost:
