Spawned Secrets

The Global Financial Crisis is in full swing.
Banks and businesses are closing.
Homes are foreclosed.
Bernie Madoff has been arrested.
Jobs and savings are lost forever.
People are angry, very, very angry.

A group of disgraced (and disgraceful) stockbrokers are enjoying a rainforest getaway weekend as a severe stormfront approaches.

A deadly secret blows in from their past, carried by a mystery stalker, 'Guy Friendly, ' determined to execute each and every one of them with surgical precision and the wrath of an avenging demon.

Their only protection comes in the form of Garfield Fletcher, former ship's cook, jilted lover, and now, fake private eye, courtesy of his ever-so-slightly-shady cousin, Henry Pinkert.

The ink on Garfield's newly printed Certificate of Accreditation is barely dry when he finds himself up against the mystery killer who will inspire the most difficult choices Garfield has ever had to make.

In award winning author, Jay Verney's third novel, "Spawned Secrets," all of these ingredients, and more, come together for a surprising climax and aftermath, as old friends reunite in the strangest of circumstances, and new friends face tragedy and betrayal.
