Produktbeschreibung

Who knew investing in your financial future could be deadly?

Heron Lake Township is an idyllic, upscale lakeside community-until it isn't.

Morrie Clay, a financial advisor with a spotless record, harbors a damaging secret that could ruin his career and his life.

Then at the annual Fourth of July party hosted by Morrie's business partner, Frederick Wirth, one of the partygoers ends up dead. Local authorities are quick to deem it an accident and anxious to close the case to avoid publicity, but Detective James Raker suspects foul play.

A couple days later, the body of college drop-out, Jamie Sherman, is found in his fishing boat.

As Raker races to prevent a third death, friendships are tested, marriages are strained, and lives are tragically altered by ambition and deceit, proving money isn't everything.

Written in the howcatchem style of Columbo and Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder, Deadly Portfolio is full of unexpected twists with themes of trust, betrayal, and moral dilemmas.

Autorenporträt

I am a Midwesterner by birth. Yankton, South Dakota, is my hometown. I graduated from high school there in 1957. After four years earning degree in English at St. John's University (MN), I became a teacher. My first wife, Elaine Finfrock, also of Yankton, and I had five children; four sons and a daughter. We divorced in 1977.

In 1964, I joined The Travelers in Minneapolis, MN and began what turned out to be a 40 year career in the financial services industry. During the that time, in addition to The Travelers, I held positions with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Minnesota, Wilson Learning Corporation, and Wachovia Bank and Trust. While at Wachovia, I served in many different positions, ending my tenure as a representative of the trust department services in the greater New York City area. I retired at the end of 2007 after 15 years as a Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch serving over 300 clients in the Winston-Salem, NC area.

In 1986, Melinda Folger McLeod and I were married and I gained a stepson, Matthew. Currently, we divide our time each year between our cabin New West Jefferson, NC and our cottage in Southport, NC near the Cape Fear River. I enjoy golf, music, and reading history. Since my retiring I have focused on my writing, an avocation throughout my life. In 2010, I completed my first novel, Deadly Portfolio: A Killing Hedge Funds. I have been very gratified by the acceptance and reviews the book has received. A sequel is not in the works which is entitled Breached. It will be available in August, 2014.
