Anyone living in a gated community or in a condominium property knows there is an elected board of directors. They wield a lot of power and spend the residents' money - wisely or not. Acrimony often sets in. The board in this novel is no different. There is skullduggery, innocence, pathos, trust and mistrust. The president of the board is conflicted, and disappears. This introduces the subplot. All come together in an exciting way, but the ending is a surprise because there is not any hint of it. Readers may well identify with the fictitious board. The author and his wife live in two different residences that have condo boards. One in Florida is a house in a gated community. The other is an apartment in a high-rise building in a Washington, DC suburb. This unique novel was sparked by personal observation, plus comments from others who live in similar communities.
