Friends Greed & Murder - Hardcover

by Steven Winer (Author)

Isiah Daniels, an intelligent, articulate, athletic black man, from the projects, was recruited to play basketball at the University of Miami by their largest booster, Donovan Taylor, a white entrepreneur who eventually became the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the State of Florida. Isiah, after obtaining his MBA, was hired by Donovan to eventually run his publically held company. Isiah, with Donovan's bigoted consent, also married Donovan's eldest daughter, Sophie Taylor, an attorney at one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in Miami. Both of those events were fulfilled for Taylor's political ambition to become the Governor of the State. Isiah, over Donovan's objections, began to hire many blacks to work for Donovan's company. Some of whom were eventually promoted over many better qualified white employees who had more seniority. Isiah's wife believed that she became aware of a scheme, by employees and customers, to embezzle funds from her father's Company. She believes that her husband, Isiah, may be one of the perpetrators. Before Sophie had the opportunity to communicate the scheme to the authorities, she was murdered by a hired black old friend of Isiah. That individual, without authorization, contracted out Sophie's murder to a low life white criminal who bungled the murder dreadfully. That event caused the original black man hired to kill Sophie, to be murdered. This book takes the reader into the world of a racist reprisal by the Taylor family against their black son-in-law and the other persons involved in a multi-country scheme to embezzle funds from the billion dollar Company. The book sets forth the mystery of who committed both murders as well as who were involved in the complicated scheme of embezzlement. The greed of the Donovan's family and the Daniels' family and their friends, intensifies the mystery as to whom may have committed the murders and embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars.
