AN ANNIE OGDEN MYSTERY
By Frederick Lee Brooke
Annie Ogden Targets Max Vinyl
Annie Ogden feels at loose ends after three military tours in Iraq. Her sister's mishap with a GPS and her brother-in-law's missing cell phone collection feed Annie's compulsive desire to follow a moving target. Annie's target is Max Vinyl.
Max Vinyl is an ordinary sleaze who aspires to be a respected businessman in a successful relationship. The day Max sells eighty percent of his shady recycling business to Korean businessmen is the best and worst day of his life. With three million dollars, Max can help his aging uncle pay for his aunt's medical care. He can take the plunge into a more serious relationship with his current girlfriend. Max's love life turns sour when his environmentalist girlfriend blackmails him. Max's business explodes in his face when his employees lose a GPS and computer data belonging to a prestigious accounting firm.
Max runs his business fast and hard like his seven expensive sports cars. His crew consists of an eclectic group of ex-cons who get the job done, in a roundabout way. The fast quips and capers of ex-cons, Ike and Tranny, are hilarious. Entertaining characters and slapstick comedy make this Annie Ogden mystery a fun read. Watch Max's life spiral downward as his business and his women get out of hand.
