The rich are incredibly different from you and me. Blessed by great riches, they can get what they want, even what they shouldn't have. Cursed by great riches, they end up being the targets of other people who will risk everything to be affluent. In The Affluent and the Deceased, bestselling author Nelson DeMille presents twenty original tales by today's most top notch mystery authors who explore the life (and loss of life) styles of the abundant and infamous. In Ted Bell's "The Pirate of Hand Beach," an arrogant population columnist seems the unsociable - and deadly - backlash from his poison pen. In Lee Child's "Dependent on Sweetness," a swaggering medicine lord plots an awful payback against a thieving underling. In David Morrell's "The Controller," a practiced protection specialist might need to be secured from the mercurial funding titan who buys his services... and checks his loyalties. From multinational boardrooms to palatial mansions to incredible playlands, these suspenseful, gold-standard tales reveal in scary, funny, and riveting ways the amount of trouble money can purchase.
