Murder on the Zephyr

Beschreibung

The murder of a free-lance investigator aboard a crack Chicago to California train might have been written off and forgotten except for the involvement of a quasi-secret group funded by a general with the United States government when the train reaches the yard at Salt Lake City. A tangled trail of murder and mayhem is precipitated when a persistent Mexican/Irish homicide detective, Ramos Torres, is ordered to back-off and accept the version arranged by two Federal officers from D.C. His neatly organized life is changed forever when he is initiated into a world of deceit and biotechnological research by a reporter from Boston, Kathleen Flaherty. The young woman is drop-dead gorgeous, Irish, and the victim's partner in their investigation of the mail handling inquiries. Torres becomes enhanced with this Irish Queen's story and because of his involvement with her the department becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of espionage and murder. The murder on the train escalates to include the Medical Examiner and the Police department before involving trips through several western states and ending up in Boston, Massachusetts. Throughout the story Faulkner and his stone cold killer Corrigan, known as the 'Iceman', do everything within their power to keep Torres isolated from any assistance from his friends by destroying them incrementally. The violent end comes in a hotel room with the help of a Boston cop, two U.S. senators, an editor and a Mafioso's top man.

Douglas Thompson's passion for improving the customer's experience as well as the sales profession continues to drive him as he comes up with new ideas to answer this question: How can we make the sales process better? Starting out as an insurance agent going down the street knocking on doors selling accident insurance, Doug quickly moved into the management side of the life and health insurance industry, hiring and training agents to be successful doing the same. His ability to build successful sale teams caught the eye of the corporate leadership of several major companies. Doug became the vice president of sales and marketing for Conseco, and was recruited to do the same for Pacificare, UnitedHealthcare, American Republic, Tranzact, and Humana. Currently, he is the marketing director for a large national insurance wholesaler that recruits and trains insurance agents and agencies across the county, as well as continuing to build his own general agency, which offers life and health products to the senior population. He is known nationally for his innovations in the sales industry, and frequently speaks and trains on his favorite topic of sales.
