The Multima Scheme is a fast-paced account of the lengths to which organized crime can infiltrate
large global corporations and seize control of respected businesses to conceal activities that are both
illegal and immoral but generate billions. It’s also a story of survival – how individuals and organizations
might react under intense pressures and the ease with which people can cross lines between what’s
legal and what’s not.

EXCERPT
His elaborate scheme to oust John George Mortimer, CEO of Multima Corporation, started to unravel
with his first telephone call in the wee morning hours. His contact at The Organization reported that no
one could locate Wendal Randall – a development of serious concern to Knight.
To engineer the election of Multima Logistics’ wayward division president to the post of CEO of the
entire corporation, he desperately needed Randall at the meeting.

To engineer the election of Multima Logistics’ wayward division president to the post of CEO of the
entire corporation, he desperately needed Randall at the meeting.
Events worsened. By mid-day, Knight learned that Randall would not appear at the meeting at all.
Instead – at the same time as all the other company direc¬tors – he was shocked to hear the FBI had
arrested Randall and was holding him in custody, charged with multiple serious crimes.
Knight might still have had a chance to carry out the Mortimer coup successfully until a subsequent
startling revelation proved all his efforts would be in vain.

John George Mortimer, more devious and cunning than Knight ever imag¬ined, had somehow finagled
an exchange of corporate shares. He’d found a way to convert some Multima shares from one class
to another. The shrewd maneuver instantly shifted the corporation’s balance of power entirely in
Mortimer’s favor. Knight’s plot had no hope of success with the new equity structure.

Instead, he found himself trapped in a rapidly unfolding disaster.
A decade earlier – on his recommendation – The Organization had invested a billion dollars in Multima.
And just the previous week, Howard had knowingly put that billion dollars at precarious risk with his
scheme to remove John George Mortimer and seize control.

rewarding experiences. I’ve had all this good fortune for many years, with reading and writing often
playing integral roles.
I’ve loved reading as long as I remember and have enjoyed writing for just as long.
For me, writing has taken many forms. Like most, it started with assigned essays as a student and
then evolved with my business career. I’ve written letters, speeches, reports, ads, brochures,
presentations, proposals, articles, and a blog. My first book was a work of non-fiction –
NEEDS Selling Solutions – co-authored with my friend Jeff Allen.
