Riassunto

At fifty, Kevin Thompson Sinclair, an ex-NFL player, is an elegant, articulate, colorful figure. But with a criminal past, an extraordinarily difficult present, and a seemingly impossible future, his options are limited. This story begins when a tall blonde woman with a successful business, seeking a return to the dating scene, gets an e-mail from Kevin from an Internet dating site. The con and the mark meet, each seeking something the other can never give. The woman -the victim - who shared four and a half months of Kevin’s strife, tells the story. Kevin wants to build a new, honest life and regain some modicum of respectability. But he finds our system, and the people in it, flawed. With no family support, he is driven back to old habits, and, eventually, madness. From his first flirting e-mail, Kevin takes a firm hold on his meal ticket. He is smooth and practiced at his craft: irresistible charm. Readers are given a glimpse into the mind of a lifelong con and user of innocents.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

As a veteran writer in the business arena, Patricia Wood, has seen her work in print and in commercials for three decades. Not contented with one career, she has been a serial entrepreneur during her rich life. This Renaissance woman now turns her keen observations and wit to the world around her, drawing on the amazing people and things that may escape our notice without her writings. Her life has been full of uncommon experiences and acquaintances because her arms are open and her mind eager for the exceptional moment. Pat’s website, patsoup.com, is filled regularly with thoughts, poems and essays sure to become the fodder for future novels. With a penchant for exposing the heart and humor in nearly every situation, Pat is an irrepressible optimist and high-energy motivator for friends, family, and readers. She is a free spirit, “a child of the ’60s,” who surrounds herself with art, good wine, kids of all ages, big dogs and those who share her gentle nature. By her own admission Pat is “someone with more to say, see, and do than there will be days for it all.” Readers will be the beneficiaries of her sharing her experiences as she has so openly in this first novel.
