FBI Agents begin investigating corporate crime in Manhattan just as an executive assistant deliberates blowing the whistle on her boss. Paula is capable of exposing this cheater’s pattern of back-dating stock options, but should she take this risk? We travel up the line to affluent suburbia where Dana, a high school teacher in Darien, CT finds herself in the midst of a moral dilemma. She has come eye-to eye with a murderer. Dana starts to punch in 911, but cuts the call short. If that man sees her again, who knows what he might do? We live in an age that says “Don’t Snitch”, not only in ghettos but also in a wealthy bedroom community. My crime novel METRO-LINE TO MURDER reveals police procedure via the perspective of an everyday witness. Once an attractive suburban detective investigating his first homicide connects with Dana, the pursuit begins. With the FBI working to expose corporate skulduggery, white collar begins to mix with street crime. Schemes of cunning revenge and strategies of escape push the action up and down I-95 as the investigation of stock fraud in Manhattan turns into a chase to catch a murderer. It’s a race against time as our detective competes with the FBI to uncover the connections between three colorful, Mafia connected criminals. This character-driven novel reveals the wrenching impact of high level executive misdeeds on their wives, one of which finds herself the bed companion of a Mafia extortionist. Narration comes from both expert legal officials and everyday people like Dana and a criminal loser from the Bronx. Female friendship and cooperation balance the competitive, but necessary aggressiveness of male law enforcers in their race to make “legitimate” arrests. They perform acts of courage as well as hare-brained antics, lending the metropolitan landscape of this novel some comic relief.
