Corporate Greed Leads to Murder

Vernon Hills, IL – August 19, 2002

Greased Wheels is a murder mystery novel set in suburban Chicago. Choice Manufacturing is growing and wants to build a new headquarters building on some prime real estate near the interstate. Land use issues are a hot topic as Lake County struggles to maintain its rural flavor while encouraging commercial development. Disagreements wind up in court and take years to resolve, costing business and taxpayers millions of dollars.

"The relationships between corporations and local government impact all of us on personal level," said the author. "How is balance between the economic boost resulting from the presence of a new commercial citizen and the needs of the community achieved? We rely on our elected officials to accomplish it for us. This book looks at what happens when the balancing act takes a tumble."

Office Right Staffing Service sends Kyle Shannon on a temporary work assignment at Choice Manufacturing where she learns that the company executives are focused on the legal and tactical problems associated with building their new headquarters. Against her better judgment, Shannon gets involved with the people embroiled in the land battle. When a county official is murdered, she is intrigued. When fire consumes the business of her new friends, she gets involved.

Government officials betray constituent trust; corporate executives do what it takes to get what they want. Arson and murder are the result. Join Kyle Shannon as she shifts through deceit and intrigue to help her friends.
