Inherent Greed

Why The Fox Is In The Chicken Coop

Beschreibung

Cameron Parmenter is the love of his mother's life. Ever since she threw his father out for cheating on her while she was pregnant and sobered up from the resulting month-long drinking binge, her entire life has been dedicated to caring for her perfect little man. Never mind that she worries he might have killed his kitten when he was a toddler. Never mind that his grandmother accused him of thievery and peeping on his own mother. And it's just fanciful imagination that her new husband thinks that Cameron killed his grandmother. Cameron Parmenter's mother won't live to see the monster her son is destined to become. When a fire kills her and Cameron's stepfather after Cameron graduates from university, the leash on Cameron's inner demon breaks and nothing can hold him back. With boundless ambition and a talent for blackmail, he knows only one field will bring him enough power and money to feed the beast inside: politics. Yet the further he follows his plan to greatness, the more blood he must shed to get there. Blackmail becomes framing, framing becomes murder-and sooner or later, some of his victims will show they are not as weak as he thinks. Extortion. Crooked politics. Murder. An unethical uranium mine. When parents ignore the signs that their children are troubled, society must deal with the psychopaths that they become. Complete at 89,000 words, INHERENT GREED combines the crime and mystery of crime fiction with the suspense and mind-bending of a psychological political thriller.

Autor

Carney Vaughan is only six months older than Sydney's Harbour Bridge but has needed many more coats of paint. He started his working life as a draughtsman but switched to the electrical trades which, at that time, seemed more interesting. As an electrical contractor involved in furnace and boiler technology he has worked in many foreign countries. In his younger (for younger read more active and adventurous) period of life he has worked as a builders labourer; swung a spall hammer in a Cape Otway quarry; dived for abalone in the cold waters off the Victorian coast; trawled for prawns in waters around North Queensland and Torres Strait and has worked a season chasing Banana prawns in the Gulf of Carpentaria. There's plenty to tell. He has lived a lot of this book. Carney has two children and, at the time of writing this, three feisty grandchildren. He and wife, Bev (she with the patience of a saint), now live in quiet retirement in Thirroul, a beautiful village type northern suburb of Wollongong on the New South Wales coast just seventy kilometres south of Sydney. If life has provided him with only one lesson he says it is this..."Humanism sits more comfortably than all other philosophies, try it, give it a chance, it is so rewarding."
