Ancón

Ever since the day they met as children while she was flying a kite on the beach, wealthy businessman Bernardo and brilliant scientist Emelia seemed destined to one day become husband and wife. They did eventually marry, but years later, that romantic dream is destroyed when Bernardo’s beloved is seemingly assassinated for dark, ambiguous reasons. Understandably aghast, Bernardo struggles to understand why anyone would want to murder his adoring wife. His shock and dismay shouldn’t be wholly unexpected, however, because a group of powerful, ruthless people has come to desire his demise as well. Although he has skillfully presented himself to the wider world as a successful importer, Bernardo is actually a member of a clandestine group of powerful men who have discovered the lost treasures of the Incan civilization. For years, the secretive “Cóndores De Oro ” have used their riches to manipulate political power and perpetuate their hold on the treasure trove of unimaginable riches hidden in the Peruvian mountains; woe to anyone who runs afoul of their aims. Eventually, Bernardo does just that as Emelia’s dangerous work in GMO foodstuff surfaces on a parallel track.

JOHN MASSEY inherited his love for books from his father, a career English teacher in the New York City Public Schools.  He committed to his father—who passed away at age 91—he would finish his dream of writing and publishing a novel.  Massey received his Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature from the University of Cincinnati, also earning a Master’s Degree there.

This first novel represents Massey’s admiration and love of the people of Peru through images of the Peruvian and Incan culture, past and present. He and his wife, Judy traveled there numerous times over the years.  They reside in Boca Raton, Florida with their Bichon Friese, Zoe Neige.  Massey has three children – Alison, David, and Caroline.
