Book Description
Driven by endless ambition, Jonathan Cartwright at age forty is bitterly frustrated by his failure to win a key promotion at the Dodds Corporation. He falls in with a syndicate of tough private investors planning a hostile buy-out of the company. As a reward for helping them succeed he is made the new president of the company. Seemingly, he has reached his goal of obtaining power and money. However, the cost has been enormous. He has sacrificed his ethics, his family, and good friend Jay Jaspers, on the altar of his ambition. What follows for him is a terrifying descent into a private hell. He is able to escape only when he finally fathoms the insanity of his dreams and the resulting bankruptcy of his own life. As he faces the world with a new vision, he finds a promise of redemption in the love of his mistress, the warm and beautiful Karen Kleinschmidt.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Success is its own reward, or is it?

The downside of success is its cost. Sacrificing love, family, health and friendship is too great a price even if you win, but certainly if you lose.
