The Furniture Man

This novel explores the relentless struggle to combat the massive problem of illegal drugs flowing out of South America into the US and across the world. It focuses around the great variety of methodologies used by both the perpetrators and those trying to arrest the flow. That goes through phases some grand scale and sophisticated others small and simple. A curve ball arrives in the form of a potential breakthrough elixir. Some would see that as fantastic news others as very bad for business. One thing is for sure - everyone will want control of it. All this becomes even more colorful against the back-drop of an extremely polarized US Presidential election cycle especially with some potential overlapping connections between key election participants and the illegal drugs supply chain. Hiding in plain sight was a long-time staple of the world of crime and espionage during the Cold War but considered somewhat outdated by the end of the century. Perhaps it is making a comeback of sorts?
