But as he rises, so does his ego, creating areckless and eccentric craving for personal and professionalexperimentations.Vincent asks himself, “What will these writers all do to become bestsellersand remain in the public limelight?”With a tight circle of volatile authors in his midst, their every weaknesssoon becomes bait to be used against them, while their power-dunk editorassumes a position of absolute authority. And things fall apart around them.Corrupted, a serial ebook of aspirations, fame, fortune, sex, shame andscandal, as Omar Tyree uncovers the dark, passionate and sinister side of theAmerican publishing industry.
