Synopsis

Reverie turns deadly when a secret society of New Orleans elites is infiltrated by a killer in this classic 1930s mystery. 
 
For years New Orleans has been enthralled by the secret society dedicated to Dis, Greek god of Inferno, whose membership of fifty is closely guarded from the press and whose rites burlesque the proud tradition of the city’s Mardi Gras festival. Lovely Cynthia Fontenay gives Dis a ball each year, with all members in attendance behind satanic masks and sinister robes of black and scarlet. 
 
When murder strikes this charmed circle, a shadow is cast over the city. Homicide detective Captain Murphy once again enlists the help of Wade, a New Orleans journalist, to confront an investigation of fifty suspects. As their smoldering motives become front page news, the Crescent City awaits the finale of this chilling carnival of a case.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    A murdered deputy. A sheriff’s office full of secrets. A case where nothing adds up. 
    When Dominion County Sheriff’s Captain Ron Neff is called to a remote crime scene in Oregon’s high desert, he finds his friend and colleague, Deputy Bill Baker, shot dead. The evidence points to a drug deal gone wrong. But as Neff digs deeper, he uncovers a tangle of contradictions that refuse to make sense. 
    Witnesses disappear. Forensic clues are tampered with—or vanish entirely. And Neff’s own department seems determined to bury the truth. 
    Then a second case surfaces—one that may be tied to Baker’s murder. It threatens to blow the investigation wide open, but pursuing it could cost Neff everything. 
    With pressure mounting and trust crumbling inside the Sheriff’s Office, Neff must navigate a maze of lies, corruption, and danger. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that someone powerful doesn’t want this case solved and is willing to kill again to keep their secrets. 
    Malice Within is a gripping, atmospheric crime thriller about murder, power, and betrayal set in the stark beauty of Oregon’s High Desert. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and C. J. Box.

    The story I tell is from my own casino High Roller gambling experiences in the early 80s when casino gambling became legal in Atlantic City. At that time only Nevada and New Jersey had commercial casinos. Today there are 44 states with some form of casino gambling. Some states have commercial and tribal casinos. I’ve written “COMPED” as fiction because if I would have written as nonfiction, what is known today as the Gaming industry would have stopped its publication. That may sound like a robust claim, but after you read or listen to “COMPED” you will understand why. What I've written won't teach you how to beat the casinos it will teach you why you shouldn't try. It will also enlighten you on how we ended up with casinos in most of our backyards along with how a casino operator became our 45th president.
