Ever wonder about the things or places mentioned inside a novel?
There's some really great wine featured inside The Gods of Greenwich, not to mention cabinets to keep the bottles happy.
And the story takes place primarily in three locations: Manhattan, Reykjavik, and, of course, Greenwich, CT. There are also side trips to Bronxville and the Bronx Zoo. Oh yeah, and there's a scene in Paris, too.
In the months to come, I'll post photos and a few passages of the things you'll find inside The Gods of Greenwich. To get started, here's a short description of the kitchen inside one of the hedge funds:
LeeWell’s kitchen housed an open-flame range for grilling steaks, Le Cache wine cabinet racked with 160 bottles, and another fifty-two-inch flat-screen television. This one was tuned to CNBC. A huge copper and brass cappuccino maker engulfed an entire kitchen island. The machine contained two gauges, one digital display, and at least three spigots. On top, a spread-winged eagle scanned the horizon for stray coffee beans.
The New York Times describes my novels as “money porn,” “a red-hot franchise,” and “glittery thrillers about fiscal malfeasance.” Through fiction I explore the dark side of money and the motivations of those who have it, want more, and will steamroll anybody who gets in their way.
Upscale luxury. I sure wish I had that brass cappuccino maker. When I read your words though, I can just about imagine it…dreaming:))
Actually, the eagle is looking for rats, mice, and other vermin — consistent with the hedge fund manager theme.
