About the Book

Blue Chip executives are dropping like flies the stock market rallies just a coincidence? Not really. There is a new serial killer on the loose. This one murders business executives who don't maximize shareholder values!

When agent Max Patterson takes time off from his FBI profiling duties to pursue an MBA, he does not expect to become involved in the highest profile case in Bureau history. With the help of Nora, a fellow MBA student and former psychic, Max must zero in on the killer while avoiding Charlie Crabney, the escaped serial murderer who loves to swing a knife and hates Max with a passion.

The Blue Chip Murders is a unique business mystery that teaches while it entertains. A unique case study forms the backdrop for each murder, combining the principles of corporate finance with political intrigue in boardrooms across America. Poison pill defense mechanisms, the rational of mergers and acquisitions, the sellout of big tobacco, and the movement towards socially responsible investing are just a few of the ingredients in this most delicious intrigue!
