VANISHING POINT

Larry Lucas, a brilliant financier with a history of mental illness, has mysteriously disappeared. His brother-in-law Carl Strassberger is summoned to the States from France to attend to this potential family business crisis. Bruce Kerr aptly characterizes the myriad personalities and individuals throughout this novel. Carl interviews family, friends, business associates, and clandestine relations--all of whom have had contact with Larry and may know what drove him to the edge. Serious implications are voiced with a dramatic resonance as this mystery combines high finance with world travel. B.J.L. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 01]
