GREEDY

CALLIE KAZUMI

Greedy, Callie Kazumi, transports the reader to Tokyo. And what happens is certainly not what an expat would expect. And that makes the book what it is: a fun and unpredictable read.

The story opens as Ed and his family experience the trauma of unemployment. So Ed does what so many people do: he seeks escape in gambling. And like so many, he loses and loses heavily. Deceiving his wife into thinking he's looking for a job, he finds employment as a chef working for a wealthy, well-known businesswoman. The only glitch is that Ed is not a chef. Picture yourself as a high school baseball player who decides that he can play Major League Baseball. You are familiar with the tools and the rules of the game. But you don't use them with the proficiency your manager expects.

Greedy is just that. A person who loses his job gets in debt, finds his way out, and into a job that may be the answer to his prayers or the door that leads to his death and the death of his family.
