PACIFIC REBOUND; 2008; Ivy House Publishing $16.95

PACIFIC REBOUND is the author’s second voyage into the intrigue of global business and politics. What happened in Tokyo in 1945 that planted the seeds for this adventure?

Peter White’s fast rise in his international corporation was put on hold by the untimely death of his 35 year-old wife. He needs a self start, and it comes in the form of a lady in distress. She’s also looking for a life lost - her own.

We start out in corporate America, find friends and enemies in the places we go, and before we’re through peer into several dark corners of the history of war in the Pacific.  What are the Japanese Yakuza after? Why are they following the attractive woman Peter White escorts around the Pacific Basin? This woman is the real mystery in this story. Who is she? And what’s she trying to get her hands on . . . if it’s not Mr. White?
