Synopsis

Skins and Bone draws Joe Mayfield and Louise (Weezy) Napolitani into a world of high finance, European elegance, and murder. Joe lands his dream job: Move from Florida to New York, join the respected investment bank ZCG, fly with the finance eagles—and be a train ride away from Weezy, his brilliant lover. It’s shortly after CyberWar I, and Weezy is chief tracker for the national data base, as well as a member of a group of dark-web hackers. ZCG uses complex financial derivatives called ‘Skins’ to craft protection for firms working in politically unstable regions. Strangely, disaster seems to follow creation of Skins, and someone is raking in millions. Joe, curious, begins to dig. Murders begin. Undaunted, Joe and Weezy dig further. A financial conference in Vienna and a sumptuous cruise down the Danube to Budapest provide the opportunity for the man making the millions to eliminate his Joe and Weezy problem.

À propos de l'auteur

The plot of Skins and Bone is informed by my background as chief financial officer of a public company. I have published one short story; another, New Orleans Purgatorio, was shortlisted for the 2015 William Faulkner - William Wisdom prize. I studied creative writing as an undergraduate at Dartmouth College, at The Loft (Minneapolis) and at the Cape Cod Writers Conference. I am a member of three critique groups and an affiliate member of the MWA and Sisters in Crime. My career has included finance positions in the United States, responsibilities in Europe, and two biotech startups. I studied English Literature and writing at Dartmouth College, where I graduated with Distinction in English. After a career in finance, mostly in technology (electronics manufacturing) in the US and Europe, I started two small biotechnology companies based on genetic discovery and analysis. In 2012, I changed careers, and I now write full time. I use my experience in finance, familiarity with Central Europe and big-bend Florida, and background in tech in my writing.
