WICKED GREED

About the Book

When Bradford T. Young found himself at the epicenter of Florida's overheated real estate market, he plunged into the universal greed trap - a craving quest for piles of money, corrupting power and seductive women. But that was before his guilty nightmares began . . . and before Amanda "Mandy" Grant, a tabloid investigative reporter, unwittingly placed a mystical spell over him. Brad is soon forced to make a life-altering choice - slide further into an abyss of greed or pursue a fleeting opportunity to earn Mandy's love which he also covets. Brad's quandary intensifies when Mandy's investigation uncovers and exposes the illicit inner workings of the corrupt organization he now works for. As Mandy garners the wrath of a New York mobster and his evil empire, only Brad as a "company insider" can save her from the unfathomable terror that follows. In a cunning cat and mouse gambit, Brad must race to beat organized crime at its own wicked game, as David pitted against Goliath with death or love hanging in the balance.

About the Author

STEPHEN WARREN lives in Tampa, Florida and Murphy, North Carolina. His motivation for writing WICKED GREED emerged after a long career on Wall Street and as an executive with several mortgage banking and financial services firms. Having a front row seat to the debacle that led to the nation's housing and financial meltdown, he is uniquely qualified to reveal the foolish greed that was the root cause. While WICKED GREED is a work of fiction, it contains all the character elements, the misguided political forces and the underlying financial abuses that created the ensuing fiasco known as "The Great Recession". Stephen is also the author of VOYAGE OVER THE EDGE, a thriller set in a Caribbean paradise and the non-fiction book, A LIFE OF PURPOSE, The Guide to Living Your Higher Self, a definitive look at how to create a purposeful life.
