WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sophia DeNapoli's book "Secrets, Lies & Chemical Compounds: The Pawn" (ISBN-10: 1503089045 and ISBN-13: 978-1-5030-8904-4) would seem fantastical if it were not inspired by her own experiences working for the largest chemical company in the world. In her new crime thriller, DeNapoli compels readers to confront the painful truth that greed, corruption, scandal, sex and cover-ups are rampant in the corporate world. In the book, Bernie DeVittoria has a serious ethical dilemma: help the company to hide their murky misdoings, or speak out against the depravity.

Grateful for the employment, the new hires are set on building a defense for the company against several high-profile lawsuits. Recently divorced, Bernie needs a break from her personal dramas. She is relieved to be back at the company she once loved.
