Adverse Selection

By Stephen F. Medici

Why would someone confess to a murder they did not commit?
Based on a true story, this thriller takes you back to four days in 1976. Gordon Carlson, the CEO of a mega-insurance company faces a crisis: one of his company's biggest policyholders has been murdered and the killer is threatening to do it again unless Carlson does what he asks. But what the CEO doesn't yet understand is that he really has no choice, and every move he makes drags him deeper into the abyss.

Customer Reviews

Great read

This was one of the best mysteries I've ever read. I remember the murder back in 1976 and Medici has done a great job filling in the detals.

Overall Great Job!!!

I picked up Adverse Selection and couldn't put it down. Medici takes you on a wild ride around New York with greed, extortion, empathy, and death as the drivers. It is extremely well written and just a pleasure to read. I recommend it to anyone that likes murder mystery type novels.

Where does a CEO's loyalty lie..

It was a typical day in the life of Dr. Ken Crosby until someone shot him. His family would be well provided for; he had an insurance policy worth $1.5 million. Gordon Carlson is the CEO of an insurance company. His life was about to change. The killer sent a letter to Gordon. It was a list of intended targets. Each target had large insurance policies. The killer would element them one at a time until he received $500,000. Gordon has a dilemma: contact the police, hence protecting clients, or pay the money and avoid the publicity. Gordon was damned no matter what decision he made. Adverse Selection by Stephen F. Medici this fictionalize tale of an actual event. The plot slowly builds the tension. The readers are exposed to the exploitation and deception that goes along with big business. There is always the question: Do I put people first or the company? The characters are well-developed. Fans of mystery and suspense need to read Adverse Selection.
