Foreword

Greed -- a powerful force that devours each and every one of us at least once in our lives, leaving in its wake a mass of wreckage and angry victims -- victims who will never be able to quiet the desire for revenge that can burn insatiably inside them. Greed -- it can begin so innocently. A young child wants the biggest piece of cake, the newest and shiniest bike on the block. He grows older and has to have the hottest car in town, the prettiest girlfriend in school. And later he desires the biggest house in the neighborhood or a new Mercedes because his competition at the office just purchased a Cadillac.

And then greed can take over with a mind of it's own. "I must have that diamond ring that woman is wearing!" Or, "I can't live without that extra few thousand in the bank! But where will I get it? Maybe I should steal it!"

That is where the victim enters the picture. And what of that victim? What must he feel as he realizes he has just been robbed? What must he feel for the thief when he discovers his identity? THE NAKED DEAL is a definitive story of greed and vengeance. We are introduced to characters who passionately confront these evils of human nature in their infinite variety. Their inevitable responses to these evils make THE NAKED DEAL a book you will never forget.
