Murdered Corporate President Seeks Revenge from Beyond the Grave
Tustin, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2006 -- Jack Eadon, "the world's most famous unknown author," thrills fans with his recent release and magnum opus, "A Consequence of Greed" (3rd Edition, ISBN 0975330071). This intriguing mystery/suspense with a paranormal twist is the second contribution in Eadon's "American Drama Series," inspired by his own personal adventures, multiple careers, and diverse life.
"A Consequence of Greed" brilliantly captures the essence of today's corporate world and all its gritty glory. James Post, president of Coyote Brand Chili in Corsicana, TX is heading home one Friday evening when his brakes mysteriously fail, killing him instantly. Regarded as an accident, the death is swept away and a new president steps in to fill the position. Ten years go by and Post's successor, Earl Hickman, has nearly run the company into the ground. Marcus Ramsay, a troubleshooter from the Chicago headquarters, is sent to Corsicana for a corporate clean-up, and to turn things around.
Business goes down a little differently in Texas than with its Yankee counterparts, and Ramsay's appearance quickly stirs up skepticism with locals. Shortly after his arrival and adding more fuel to the fire, Ramsay unwittingly becomes possessed by the spirit of James Post. Before long Marcus embarks on a journey uncovering the possibility that residents in the community were behind Post's death a decade earlier. Still overcome with Post's angry spirit, he teams up with an assistant, and sets off to expose the guilty parties and take inimitable revenge on them.
Eadon once again creates a cast of memorable characters indicative of his finely tuned perception towards people and their environment. He eloquently portrays the culture of the south, in all its beauty and baseness, while giving a satirical nod to his earlier days as an actual business executive in Corsicana, TX. Blending a realistic yarn with a supernatural one, Eadon bares the political voracity and insatiable greed often seen in the business world. This story will hook readers from the start and not let go until its dramatic finale when each of the killers find out the consequence of their greed.
"I'm an idealist at heart," says Eadon, "so I wanted to capture that differences in culture can be transcended with a little honesty and understanding. And, of course, that even in the ruthless world of big business, where the bad guys appear to win the riches, they ultimately always pay the price for their acquisitiveness!"
Jack Eadon is a full-time writer living in southern California. He entered the corporate world in 1974, which took him to Illinois, Texas, California and Kansas. To date, he has published seven books and has two more in the works - a fiction-based-on-fact war novel, and an autobiographical non-fiction recounting his infamous medical history. "A Consequence of Greed" (3rd Edition, ISBN 0975330071) can be purchased at online bookstores around the country and world, or at www.eadonbooks.com
