Abstract:
As a brief, euphoric oil boom plummets in a traumatic crash, everything changes for John Biondi, PR manager at American Sidetrack Incorporated. No more flights on the Lear jet. No more fat bonuses. The boss, Dave King, is even more paranoid than usual. The honeymoon is over when John’s wife Gennie gives birth to their first child and his travel schedule sends him to Lafayette, Amsterdam, Muscat and Bangkok. And both excitement and trouble arrive when the charismatic Bob Stanton re-joins the company as its blowout expert. When a takeover threat looms, Dave King can think of nothing else. So when Bob Stanton is kidnapped while fighting a spectacular offshore fire, John gets the assignment of finding the terrorists and negotiating for Bobby’s release. Spiced with beautiful women, tough men, tall tales and suspense, BLIND SIDETRACK is an entertaining, satire adventure.
