WHY?: Kobbe Press

WHY? is not your usual psychological suspense thriller. Nobody gets killed. Nobody has a murder weapon. It is a different psychological suspense thriller but just as interesting and engaging.

Brian is a smart son of an elite family on the Gold Coast of Long Island. He is ambitious to the point of breaking up with his long-time girlfriend, Gloria Rocco, to seek a wife who would be an asset in his quest for a top position in a company. On a Labor Day weekend, he meets Margo Pershing, the only daughter of a nouveau riche family from Old Westbury. They have a whirlwind romance ending in his marriage proposal in December, only to discover that Gloria is pregnant. When he proposes, Margo reveals she is also pregnant.

Brian lands a job at Purcell and Sons Insurance Brokerage in Long Island. As he progresses with the company, Arthur Purcell Jr., the company owner, promotes him to Executive Vice President and part-owner of the company. However, Brian gets caught in a never-ending scheme to defraud the company. What motivates him to do it, and why? How did it come to light? How will the event affect the lives of people around him?

A tale that shows us even the rich and the mighty are not immune to such vagaries of life, and money seems to invade every fabric of our society. "Why?" will keep you turning the page to find out what happens next and why.

"Why?" is a psychological thriller that captures the patterns of corporate life - the placing of too much trust in a powerful executive and the failure of employees to challenge the executive until it is too late.
