Mox Nix

by Thomas H. Haag

A novel about corporate corruption, chemical toxicity, and lusts in the City of Brotherly Love, a business thriller out of today's headlines, inspired by a true story. Beneath the placid surface of corporate success lurks a toxic stew of lust, treachery, and death. Harry Schoen has it all, and that s the problem. He s a decorated Korean War vet, Ivy League grad, rising executive with a global chemical company, beautiful wife, two beautiful daughters, suburban trophy home, country club membership, and a 38-foot cabin cruiser riding at anchor on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. But beneath the burnish of his achievements, Harry wrestles with a growing crowd of demons, from the guilt he feels about his war experiences, to the decay of his marriage, to his misgivings about the treachery of corporate warfare. He finally has to come to terms with all the conflicts in his life when he stumbles on evidence that the company whose ladder he s spent his entire career climbing has been hiding a deadly secret. In the end, Harry must decide whether to betray all that he has accomplished in order to be true to himself.
