Ten Cents a Dance

Homicide detective, Johnny Vero, hunts a serial killer who targets dance hall women who charge a fee of ten cents for a 3 minute spin on the dance floor. They are murdered in the Budapest Hotel in certain room numbers which have biblical meanings as to why the killer chooses these rooms. Detective Vero travels to France and works with Interpol to capture the killer.

Berri was born in the Bronx. After some years, his family moved to Yonkers, N.Y. where he finished his high school education. After graduating from High School, he relocated back to the Bronx where his mother found an apartment in a two family house on Arthur Avenue in a section known as Fordham. 

 Early on, he learned to work different jobs, too many to mention, each one teaching him something different, starting with shining shoes.  Each job brought him closer to being his own boss.  He started a one man business in New York, which he sold after many years, employing over 100 individuals.

Berri relocated his family to Florida where he retired after many years as a Financial Specialist and a top producer for one of the largest banking institutions in the U.S. 

Berri graduated Columbia State University with a business degree.

During his career, he has been interviewed by newspaper reporters for his business, written many articles for trade publications as well as articles published for web based sites.   Berri has done public speaking and have had the opportunity to be in a few T.V. commercials, including voice-overs.  

He believes the mind can imagine and create what you let it, using the children's story we are all familiar with...
