Product Description

Set in an underground world of scandal, sex and street justice, in Money for Good some people will do anything for the love of money. . . .

Small-town businessman West Owens needs money. He's struggled his entire life to get it, but can still count his friends on one hand and the amount in his bank account on the other. When he is summoned for jury duty, however, he is introduced to Lauren Richards, a resourceful, ruthless fellow juror who drags West into a web of deceit involving the city of Atlanta's case against drug informant Pete Rossi. Suddenly, West finds himself in a world where charges of murder, possible prison bids and thousands of dollars are at stake. Soon he has more money than he's ever seen and he'll do anything -- including risking his life -- to keep it.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the Love of Money, July 3 2004

This review is from: Money For Good: A Novel (Hardcover)

Franklin White's latest literary offering, MONEY FOR GOOD, takes the reader on a wild and crazy thrill ride. The main character, West Owens, has finally achieved his dream of becoming an entrepreneur when he opens his own garage, but he stands to lose it all when he has to close up shop to serve on jury duty. While performing his civic duty, he meets and befriends Lauren Richards, a resourceful woman who has a "get rich quick" scheme. West joins forces with Lauren to convince the jury to free defendant Pete Rossi in exchange for a considerable amount of money. Little does West know that he is about to have the experience of a lifetime in his quest to have money for good.

Franklin White has written a page-turner that draws the reader in from the very first page and does not let up until the last page is turned. Filled with action, adventure, murder, deceit, police corruption, and laced with a hint of romance, MONEY FOR GOOD aims to satisfy. Kudos to Franklin White for a job well done, and I hope to see more of West Owens and his associates in White's future novels.

I loved this book. I thought the author did a really good job mixing all the characters together since they all came from different backgrounds. Rossi and West played off of oneanother perfectly then when they started to work together along with Mrs. Bullock it was like watching a movie. I would have given this book 5 stars and I still probably should but I was mad at Lex for what happened to her baby-that part in the book really touched me because it happens much too often. You wont go wrong with this novel you will really enjoy it.

This is a good book. It keeps you guessing and interested. The females in this book were wild but I liked all of them especially Rita.
