Inherent Greed

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.
