NORTH WILDWOOD, N.J., June 29, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- A filthy rich gentleman finds a writer to divulge secret tales long kept by his elite circle. The story of the sponsor who must remain anonymous begins in a chance encounter in an exclusive fishing resort. Bill Flynn's novel, Secret Tales of the American Wealthy, melds reality with fiction into an explosive book about the most exclusive group of the American wealthy. As the story of the wealthy gentleman unfolds, the writer is taken into a world entirely ruled by money and power.
This new book is largely based on a true encounter in a secluded fishing resort in northwestern Maine where the author works as a fishing guide and the rich gentleman was a regular patron. Bill Flynn is introduced to the elderly man who would reveal to him a story he has never heard of before. To complete his book, Flynn travels to New York City, San Francisco, and the mountains of California where he meets certain people who are involved in the story of the sponsor. In the novel, the elderly gentleman gives the author the materials for the book through videotapes, notes, and a trusted relative named Paul. The sponsor reveals secret societies in the United States, a vault filled with wealth hidden in a mountain, and an underwater city tucked in the Gulf of Mexico.
More than a fictionalized tell-all of a rich American man, this new book provides glimpses of how the wealthy control the most coveted resource in the world - oil - and foresees a gloom scenario for this elite American group. How much of the book is fiction? How much is the truth?
