The Jeffries Affair — John Sherwood

The Jeffries Affair by John Sherwood 

For years they were best friends. For decades they chose to remain estranged. Now Bryan Jeffries has contacted Matt DiGrande to get reacquainted. The idea excites Matt, but it also sends up showers of red flags. They agreed to keep the past in the past, so what could Jeffries possibly want? And why did he make contact now?

This multifaceted story encompasses the lives of these two businessmen and several other disparate individuals whose direction in life is forever altered by a strange business report full of smoking guns. Their investigation of the report releases a convoluted string of activities that includes blackmail, abduction and murder, all made possible by a deadly skeleton that has been begging for decades to come out of its closet.

John Sherwood has been a professional business person in a multitude of industries. Now nearing retirement, he is beginning to shift focus away from the 60 hour weeks to pursue other passions, one of which is writing. Having finished rearing his children, John now lives quietly in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania where he takes full advantage of its natural beauty and diverse cultural offerings.
