KILLING THE BOSS is the first of its kind -- a mystery novel told exclusively through police evidence and clues. The narrative is comprised of emails, notes, letters, interrogation transcripts, newspaper clippings, receipts, and other diverse documents. The reader becomes the detective, sorting through evidence while embarking on a fascinating journey into corporate hell. There are plenty of shocking twists and turns along the way.
The documentary-like narrative catapults the reader through a dramatic investigation to find the killer of Douglas Dardis, "The Boss From Hell." Dardis, the vice president of sales for KitchenWorks Inc., is discovered bludgeoned to death one morning in his downtown Chicago office. There is no shortage of suspects -- ranging from disgruntled employees to a vengeful wife.
Join Detective Ron Hayes as he unravels the bizarre sequence of events that led to the brutal killing. You’ll work overtime to get to the explosive finale.
