"The Successor"
 |
Gillette is no stranger to Jesse Wood, the first African American president of the United States, having been Wood’s chosen running mate in his historic bid for the White House. Though still slightly upset over being dropped from the ticket at the eleventh hour, Gillette’s not about to ignore the chief executive’s summons to a top-secret meeting at Camp David. There, Wood drops a bombshell: The president of Cuba is dead. Cuba’s communist regime has kept the dictator’s demise hush while it races to fill the power vacuum. And the United States is poised to support a cabal of Cuban professionals plotting a coup. The President wants Gillette to meet with the conspirators and size up the chances for a successful capitalist revolution. But by no means can his mission be traced back to the White House. If anything goes wrong, Gillette is on his own.
And if certain people have their way, something will go wrong. For the conspiracy to liberate Cuba isn’t the only one afoot. Enemies in high places, who will go to any lengths to wreak revenge on Gillette and to unseat President Wood, have set in motion a campaign of deception, sabotage, and murder whose shockwaves will resonate from the streets of Havana to the Oval Office. But for Gillette, who has just named his alluring and ambitious protégé, Allison Wallace, as his successor at Everest, the greatest peril may lie much closer to home.
Christian Gillette, the dynamo chairman of a famous New York private equity firm, plans to open a new casino in Las Vegas and launch an NFL franchise.
But the mob makes it clear that Christian will have to pay if he wants to play. To complicate matters, U.S. senator Jesse Ford, the odds-on favorite to make history as the first black president, taps Christian to be his running mate.
But an influential Texas mogul has another fate in mind for Christian: to be part of a shadow organization powered by wealth and bound by dark secrets that has manipulated the course of American history for generations.
As the twisted chain of intrigue, treachery, blackmail and death is pulled tighter and tighter, Christian realizes - maybe too late - that in a grudge match between kingmakers bent on victory at all costs, he may be the last pawn sacrificed.
An investment banker in the maverick firm Phoenix Capital, Conner Ashby is doing all right for himself. At twenty-seven, he's practically the right-hand man of the company's founder-a wealthy old pro looking to make a big comeback on The Street while grooming Conner for a place at the top.
Between his career and his gorgeous girlfriend, it's a good life, with every indication of getting even better-until a wayward E-mail crosses Conner's computer, and plunges his near-perfect world into a terrifying downward spiral.
'The 'operation' is way out of hand. If we don't do something, it's going to detonate.' It's a communication not meant for Conner's eyes, between people he doesn't know, about a company he's never heard of-a company that's engaged in corporate fraud on a massive scale.
With no way to trace the E-mail, it's impossible for Conner to act on the volatile discovery. But with millions of dollars at stake, high-powered careers in the balance, and hell to pay if the truth comes out, whoever clicked the 'send' button by mistake isn't about to take any chances.
And for Conner, the evening that began in the arms of a beautiful woman ends in a harrowing race for his life.

"The Fourth Order"
National security, terrorism, and human rights–these explosive issues lie at the heart of Stephen Frey’s riveting new thriller, a high-octane novel of suspense, revenge, and intrigue.
Dynamic chief financial officer Michael Rose is looking to add an exciting and profitable new dimension to energy conglomerate Trafalgar Industries via the major acquisition of CIS, a global information technology company.
But it’s far from a done deal, thanks to fierce resistance from CIS, and from certain members of Trafalgar’s own board, to Rose’s takeover proposal. But Rose isn’t about to sacrifice his best shot at the score that could land him in the CEO’s chair.
While swiftly scaling the corporate ladder, Rose has played the big business power game expertly enough to know he has the moves to outmaneuver the opposition. But what Rose doesn’t know is the truth about his latest adversaries at CIS–that they are linked to an organization hell-bent on a twisted mission and are lethal to anyone who stands in their way.
The Order, an ultra-secret shadow government agency, was founded by high-level administration officials in reaction to the assassination of President Lincoln. Nearly 150 years later, the group was galvanized anew by the worst act of terror ever perpetrated on American soil–and pushed to dangerous extremes by the specter of fear . . . and the taste of power.
The Order had always been sanctioned to manage national security at all costs, by any and all means, without consequences. But behind the sleek veneer of CIS Technologies, the fourth and newest incarnation of The Order not only maintains the ultimate nationwide surveillance and intelligence-gathering system, but conducts officially licensed covert operations rife with torture and murder–all in the name of freedom. The mission cannot and will not be jeopardized, even if innocent lives must be sacrificed.
Unfortunately Michael Rose doesn’t yet realize that his hardball tactics have made him the Order’s number one hard target, and his penchant for playing to win has brought him unwittingly into a deadly duel with an enemy more powerful than he can imagine. In a world where the rule is kill or be killed, Rose’s rep for sealing deals might just seal his fate.
Since 1995 he's had 18 novels published with Penguin Putnam, Random House and Simon & Schuster, and Amazon.
