My Latest Book is Live!

It took a while, but I needed to get it right.

By Mark GagnonPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

It has taken me much longer than it should have, but my latest book is now live on Amazon in both paperback and eBook. Unmitigated Greed, the stand-alone sequel to Mitigating Circumstances. Although some of the characters follow through from book one, you will meet additional, more ruthless individuals in book two. Here is an example of what the story is about.

Unmitigated Greed plunges the reader into the cold-blooded world of Valentine Fuchs and his international crime syndicate, the Council of Continents. Faced with the growing problem of transporting a variety of illegal products ranging from counterfeit designer goods to drugs, Fuchs enlists the help of a rising star in his organization, Frank Mason, a Yale graduate with a degree in computer science plus a black belt in Karate.

It is Frank’s job to create a network of charter bus companies that begins in Laredo, TX, and spiderwebs through the US. The buses will transport contraband from Laredo and return with the proceeds from sales. The plan looks foolproof, but nothing ever is.

Mike Gulf, a former Army CID investigator, now working for a government-contracted private investigation company, infiltrates Frank’s organization. Mike isn’t the only one interested in the Council's transportation scheme. They may be the largest organization, but they have very aggressive competitors that are willing to force Frank's hand at every turn.

The main question comes down to is; How much blood is a multi-billion dollar company worth?
