Items related to The Stark Truth
In 1980s New York, a ruthless couple rockets up the corporate ladder... Tommy is waiting in the bushes when the woman comes home crying. He unlocks the door and pads through the darkened house as he has done so many times in the past. He finds her upstairs in her nightgown, half asleep but not surprised to see him-until he pulls out the gun. She is not afraid. She dares him to shoot. It would not be the first time she has convinced him to commit a crime. Tommy met Kitty Goldmark at Tavern on the Green, at a company holiday party for New York's least scrupulous millionaires. Recently divorced and professionally adrift, Tommy could not help but be seduced by this gorgeous young widow. She brought him into a world of erotic passion, paid for by the sort of crime found only on Wall Street.

From Library Journal:
After Kitty Goldmark seduces Stark "Tommy" Thompson, their affair isn't very interesting because their dialogues are so banal. The storyline improves, however, when they decide to mix business with pleasure and become very rich from an insider trading scheme. More wealth from a family enterprise follows, as do greed, distrust, murder, and sundry other best-seller ingredients. Even some clever plot twists can't save this book though, because the first-person narration drags too often and the protagonists are neither likeable nor engaging. Public libraries may want anyway, in case the hefty book promotion stirs demand. Freeborn is the pseudonym of a supposedly well-known author; this is a Literary Guild selection.
