Ralph and Cameron are good friends, but when Cameron’s inquisitiveness starts to threaten Ralph’s life-style, he immediately sets to work to eliminate Cameron. He orders his own wife to sleep with Cameron for information, and tells his sister, Cameron’s wife, to snoop on Cameron’s activities.
Cameron is hounded from his home, becomes a homeless dropout, resorts to petty theft to survive, and shacks up with a drug taker. Ralph comes after him, but is the victim of his own deathly plot.
A page-turning story of murder, drug-dealing, corruption, adultery, and a step-daughter’s love and determination to set the record straight: set against the backdrop of the behind-the-scenes workings of a top restaurant.
I spend most of my time writing and do it because I like it and hope it will please – but I don't try to please everyone. When I’m not writing, I look after my garden, cook, and spend time with friends and family. I enjoy music, movies, and the theatre. I read a great deal and watch some TV. In my life, I’ve experienced a few death-defying moments, achievements, failures, and near bankruptcy. I’ve enjoyed much personal happiness and been touched by tragedy. I thrive on adversity – thinking that where one door closes, another opens. I’m sanguine about life and don't see my past as special; just stuff I’ve been through. I work hard to use my life experiences and understanding of people to make my books realistic, compelling, and as good as I can get them. Most of all I want the reader to enjoy them.
I’ve written eight books under my name, my most recent work is I would have stayed. I’ve written six crime novels under the name of Mathew N Baker.
But I remain an optimist, a progressive, and have confidence in our ability to strive for a better world. It’s a hell of a lot improved from when I was born.
