Bill Arena became a multi-billionaire after inheriting a considerable portion of the Campbell Computer Company stocks through dubious means. The Arena family held the secret to his wealth, but it had dire consequences for them. Bill's son, Tom, went missing on a typical workday, and things went south. They found a corpse in Tom’s office, his gun on the table, and no one to tell what happened. Tom was a suspect or victim, and Vince Reismuller must find out. Former marine Vince worked for the Arenas and was loyal to them. And like his past battles, Vince dug deep to dismantle complex schemes from the past while watching out for the fatal shot. Who has Tom? Can Vince save him in time? Find out in Intended Consequences by John Morelli.

Intended Consequences by John Morelli is a fantastic novel that kept me on the edge of my seat. The author had his foot on the figurative pedal and sustained the momentum from the beginning to the end. I saw the damage caused by greed and the rough side of the corporate world. There is action, suspense, crime, law, politics, and some flirting. I loved the story’s uniqueness, plot, and character development because they were not cliched. There was substance and something new to discover in every chapter. The author incorporated actual places and past events into the plot which gave the novel authenticity. Vince and Parker were my favorite characters. I wonder why no one arrested Tonya and hope Vince and Morgan take it to the next level. John did a fantastic job with this novel, and I encourage him to continue writing.
