The Meal Ticket

By Ken Cavazzoni

The Meal Ticket by Ken Cavazzoni is a gripping psychological thriller that plunges readers into the shadowy world of manipulation, sexual assault, and high-stakes extortion. Amelia Sapphire, a young, beautiful and ambitious woman, runs a gentleman's club in St. Louis. There, she uses her deviously sharp intellect as well as the allure of her dancers to target wealthy businessmen. Hampered by trauma from her past, her penchant for retribution outweighs societal norms. The arrogant patrons who become her marks are easily manipulated and the leverage she gains over powerful men who prefer to keep their peccadilloes private is both lucrative and satisfying. Money scammed is twice as sweet as money earned, so when a new scheme is hatched, Amelia cannot resist. Her new target, Miller Gast, is destined for stardom as baseball's top prospect. Young, handsome and athletic, the "Gasman" is also naive to the trappings of celebrity. Like any man, he's also malleable and no match for Amelia's beauty, charm and deception. In this thought provoking, dark and suspense-filled novel, Amelia's drive and ruthlessness are put to the test as she navigates a web of lies, power plays, and dangerous secrets. With spiraling tension and stakes mounting high, can Amelia's resourcefulness prevail when her plot begins to unravel? The Meal Ticket is a thrilling exploration of greed, power, and the human capacity for evil, guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
