King's Odyssey James A Walsh

Arnold P. King is an Account Manager for a high-end investment firm. One Friday, before leaving for the weekend, he finds that his accounts are short by $ 8 million. He cannot find what happened to the money. Later that night, on his drive home, several people try to kill him. They are amateurs, and he escapes. Surely, they will try again. He must run and hide. A handful of friends and acquaintances shelter and protect him, while he tries to figure out what is going on. The pursuers track him down and make one more attempt on his life. Again, they fail, and this marks a sea change. The Moneyman who wants King dead, decides that the amateurs are incompetent. It is time for professionals. God's Judgment (G. J.) is hired. Meanwhile, Bergen Sawyer takes charge of King's security detail. Another unsuccessful attempt is made on King's life, and he is again forced to run. When G. J. kidnaps their wives, King and Sawyer agree to a trade, the women for King. The swap takes place smoothly but then King manages to kill one of his captors and escapes. Since G. J. has made this personal, Bergen resolves to find and punish him and his associates. How will Bergen go about it? Will he be successful? Will the missing money be recovered? Will King be able to resume a normal life?
