Among the featured works in the Book Gallery is “Mayhem” by Tony Seton — a book that dives deep into the dark corners of human emotion—where love curdles into hate, and revenge becomes an obsession.
Tony Seton is an accomplished journalist, author, publisher, and communications consultant whose career spans broadcasting, writing, and politics. A former ABC TV journalist, he covered Watergate, multiple elections, and space missions, produced Barbara Walters’ interviews, and earned national awards for his business reporting.

“Mayhem” is a gripping novel that follows Athena Pryce, a woman so consumed by spite that she’ll stop at nothing to ruin her ex-husband’s life. With the help of a scheming con man, she plots a campaign of psychological destruction that pushes the limits of cruelty—and sanity.
But when Athena ends up dead, the question looms: was it suicide… or murder? What began as a toxic love story spirals into a mystery full of deceit, manipulation, and spiritual misguidance. Hell hath no fury, indeed.
Her ex-husband, Spencer Charing, refuses to be another victim of her chaos. Seeking truth and closure, he turns to an old journalist friend—a man skilled at untangling messy, human stories—to dig into Athena’s twisted motives. What drove her to such extremes? And who really paid the ultimate price?
“Mayhem” by Tony Seton is a sharp, fast-paced psychological drama about vengeance gone too far. Seton blends suspense, emotion, and moral complexity in a story that keeps you guessing until the very end—proof that sometimes, the most dangerous wars are the ones waged in the mind.
