Midwest Book Reviews

Harris Simmons, led by the CEO and President team of Gill Harris and his heir apparent Don Alexander, is a world-class company in the midst of an unparalleled period of performance. But behind the scenes there are long simmering tensions that have heated up to a roiling boil.

As he begins a transformative change in the company, Alexander hires star executive Kwame Mills. When gunshots ring out, it is Mills who is summoned to the scene of the crime and becomes a central figure in the murder mystery that a contingent of hungry gossip reporters turn into the talk of the city.

The police investigation that follows reveals Harris Simmons to be a place with dark secrets, predatory actors and master abusers of power and privilege.

Just weeks before the shooting, several burgeoning relationships. One for Kwame with the exotic, Michelle Nubani. Another for Donald, with the beautiful Carrie Sinclair. Kwame's past includes a marriage and divorce with Carrie that has not had the proper closure. Suddenly, with Donald Alexander in a coma fighting for his life, they are forced to think beyond themselves.

If Alexander doesn't survive, the next leader of Harris Simmons may be a tyrannical, privileged narcissist. It leads to an overdue reconciliation between Kwame and Carrie, a prayer vigil and a scrupulous plan conceived by chief of Detectives Teddy Walker aided by the ever-present Celebrity Hack Patrol.

Walker knows they need to buy time and focus on saving the life of the talented Alexander. He is an eyewitness and critical to finding the shooter and the only executive with the skill and respect of the business world, to save the most powerful media company from falling into the wrong hands.
