About this ebook

A FAMILYS DECEPTION is set at an 80 year old resort in Southern California where Jake Oliver and his family encounter organized crime, unexplained supernatural phenomenon, and murder linked to events that started with two immigrant brothers, the founders of the resort, whose wealth, power and corruption led to anger, hostility and murder that carried on from generation to generation splitting the Palermo dynasty in two.

Author

Stanton Jacobs

To assure a true sense of realism, the character of Jake Oliver nearly parallels that of Stanton Jacobs’ own career with over 34 years working in the lodging and hospitality industry in the United States and internationally. Throughout his career he has encountered many unique challenges and unexpected mysteries at each of the hotels and resorts that he has managed. He published his first novel Voyage of Deception in 2003, and just like this novel, the reader will identify with the main character, Jake Oliver, and the colorful characters that will keep you guessing throughout. Jacobs began his career in hospitality while obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree from the Indiana University School of Business. Jacobs career has included operating hotels and resorts across the country including large convention hotels, exclusive resorts, health spas and, of course, historic grand hotels full of rich heritage, each with a special story to tell. Later as a senior manager of a large international hotel brand, he supervised a team of directors providing support to hotels globally and now operates his own company providing marketing and operational support to the hospitality industry globally. Awarded the designation of Certified Hotel Administrator, CHA, through the American Hotel & Lodging Association, recognized by Cambridge Who’s Who, and Strathmore’s Who’s Who for his professional leadership, Jacobs has served as past president of multiple industry related organizations and provides support in educating others interested in the hospitality industry. He resides in Indiana with his wife and two daughters.
