The Ghost of Bowdoin College: Money. Murder. And the Mob.

It’s 1805, and as a result of two tragic incidents, the legend of The Ghost of Bowdoin College is born. Over a century and a half later, Bowdoin graduate Vincent Mark, a young lawyer who works for The Sterling Works in New York City, is reeling from a series of suspicious deaths of the senior officers at Sterling. Coupled with the launch of a sudden, mysterious, hostile takeover attempt, Mark is thrust to the forefront of defending his company, his position and ultimately his life. Overwhelmed by the enormity of the challenge, Mark turns to his childhood friend, Anthony Vacarro, Capo of one of Brooklyn's notorious Cosa Nostra crime families. Although he has been out of touch with Vacarro for several years, trying to leave his past behind him, Mark joins with Vacarro to unravel the fast-paced developments of the hostile takeover attempt. Throughout the wild ride, The Ghost attempts to guide Mark and another Bowdoin alumnus, Assistant Attorney General Angela Dominica. It’s the fight of Vincent Mark’s life, all while he struggles to define himself. Money. Murder. And the Mob. PRAISE FOR THE GHOST OF BOWDOIN COLLEGE: “This is a phenomenal debut book!
