Larceny explores the consequences of corporate corruption in higher education and offers an explosive example of what could happen in such an environment when things go terribly wrong!
Greed and lust trump morals and clear thinking when money becomes the burnt offering placed at the alter of a person's ego.
Reviews
<strong><strong>Once you have a piece of the pie, you don't want to lose it,
ever. "Larceny" is a criminal thriller telling the story of Richard
Gillespie, self-made millionaire and head of a law firm that will take
those millions with it. To keep his millions he enters a web of
treachery and technology against university head Louis Jacobson,
university executive Bridgette Lonerghan, and the inventions of Joseph
Ralinski where murder may just become an option in pursuit of the
almighty dollar. "Larceny" is a fine thriller where you don't know
where the next turn will come from.</strong></strong>
