Bøker av Richard Bonte

The year is 1924. The Great War has come and gone, having given way to the Roaring Twenties. The beautiful socialite Celia née Dawes, now Celia Casterson, is married to budding tycoon, Don Masterson. They lead a perfect life in their summer place in the Hamptons until a certain neighbor moves in next door. Hamptons Hot, by Richard Bonte, is the fourth book in The James Masters Series by Richard Bonte and Hamilton Harcourt Fleming III. (Jayne Louise Crawford contributed to the first book, The New Yorkers, in the series).

When Rod Lafleur is visited one day by a distant second cousin, Teresa Roberts, he doesn't know what to think. For one thing, he hardly knows Terry, having met her only once and talked to her a couple of times on the telephone. For another, Terry has always ranted on about hair-brained schemes and pots of gold, about this or that one being greedy or not getting their fair share of the family pie: a privately-held, well-known plastic toy company in the Mid-West. Sure, Rod and his extended family have inherited twenty thousand gift shares of the Allen Company. But they have no decision-making power, and the shares are worth nothing on the open market. Terry has a new spin and the Lafleurs are willing listeners until they find out that the option contract she has is not what they thought it would be nor is Terry exactly who she claims to be. Will Rod be able to save his family from the clutches of the evil Terry and his own greedy sister-in-law? Will Rod be able to save himself?
