A swirling storm of crime and comedy
Augustus “Aug” Valentine, president of Trove Import Export Company in Fort Lauderdale and an undeniable ladies’ man, apparently has it all.
What Aug lacks is a tragedy-free past. The Valentine family is riddled with death and deceit
since 1980 Detroit.
"Family money" funded the import business, along with the White Sands Bank and Destin Dreams Realty.
Workaday business for Aug at Trove involves the occasional smuggling of goods into and out of the U.S.
His romantic life is also complicated. His marriage to Laurie ended in
divorce, but now he's ready to propose to Jocelyn, his seductive and very liberated Jaguar saleswoman.
Everything seems to be going well for Aug - until $40 million worth of smuggled gemstones are stolen from him. Now he must recover the jewels or die.
The plotting in Painless is well-crafted and packed with action, crime, violence, love, comedy, greed, wit and irreverence.
A metaphor for the natural and financial hurricanes slamming America, Painless
entertains with realistic characters firmly rooted in today’s world.
