Wake Co.

by Johnny Flora

Introducing Wake Co. What vehicle will deranged schizophrenic Peter Falconi choose to propel his heinous quest to enslave all of civilization? Organized crime… organized religion… or …Wake Co.? A malformed child named Peter Falconi emerges from his troubled youth with a brilliant scheme. He ruthlessly embarks on a mission to monopolize the entire funeral parlor business. He names his brainchild Wake Co. and every funeral director is coerced into signing over their homes of distinction to the master manipulator, enchaining their mortician’s license to his network of evil. Peter and his devious sidekick, Edward “The Corkscrew” Cox, are hell-bent on expanding the most lucrative, Lucifer friendly franchise in history. They begin to initiate gruesome forms of mass-murder to keep their Wake Co. funeral parlors filled to capacity. With a little cutting-edge advertising the Mortician’s Code of Ethics goes out the window and the grieving public chooses to save thousands of dollars by sending their deceased cadavers to one of Falconi’s 50,000 convenient bone orchard locations. Too many disappearances of business associates and family members in Falconi’s inner circle begin to stir up the inquisitive juices of New York City’s most decorated female detective. Flat-foot femme-fatale, Marty O’Fallon, becomes suspicious that the Pope and the President of the United States are in bed with Wake Co’s founder. Detective O’Fallon turns up the heat, escorting the reader through pages of intrigue and deception as Wake Co. flexes its financial prowess and threatens global stability.
