THE BRIDGE TO CARACAS: A DOUGLASS CRIME AND ROMANCE THRILLER SERIES (THE KING TRILOGY Book 1)
by Stephen Douglass
Stephen Douglass's knowledge of the Oil and Gas Industry is woven into a plot similiar to John Grisham's tales of lawyers, judges, and the law. Both are terrific at storytelling at a brisk pace coming with a knowledgeable background. You will be educated as to the Oil and Gas Industry, especially the dark side of money making, and entertained by a romantic engaging action story. This book belongs in a class with "Unbroken", "Lost in Shangri-La", "In the Garden of the Beasts", other five star books that I have enjoyed this summer. (5 star review)
The story you are about to read reveals how Jim Servito destroyed the hopes and aspirations of star-crossed lovers, Mike King and Karen Taylor, while simultaneously engineering one of the largest and most audacious thefts in Canadian and U.S. history. He stole $325,000,000 from the U.S. and Canadian governments, then murdered everyone who could implicate him. He possesses a brilliant criminal mind. Cynical and remorselessly ruthless, he has an enormous contempt for the law, police, governments, and the system in which they function. He assumes rules are for fools, and takes sadistic pleasure in breaking them.
Everything was perfect. The beautiful daughter of wealthy parents meets the handsome son of middle class parents. They fall in love and assume they will marry and live happily ever after. Their assumption could not have been further from reality. Cruel twists of fate and the wrath of Jim Servito combine to prescribe a nightmare for the two lovers, one that grows in intensity and ultimately leads them to a life and death confrontation with Servito in Caracas.
