GOLD WATCH

What if a powerful ruthless American corporate C.E.O. joined forces with a radical Islamic group to accelerate their mutual blood-thirsty interests? Could this unholy alliance represent a potential backdoor opportunity for terrorists to gain access to America's heartland? If so, could a young vibrant woman within that same corporation possibly hold the keys to limiting the destruction caused by the radicals and their corporate benefactor? Will she live long enough to see her efforts succeed? These are questions asked by the debut novel Gold Watch by C Raymond Taylor, a fast-paced thriller that builds suspense and intrigue from its opening pages. Pharmacor, a Cleveland, Ohio based pharmaceutical company, is the setting for a deadly undeclared chess match of wits between the omnipotent and arrogant CEO Jonas Trina, and Holland Brittany Matthews, a human resources employee who attempts to stop his horrific plot.
