ON THE WINGS OF THE STORM

Mr. Newhafer writes with just about as much turbulence as his Hurricane Margo, stewing somewhere in the Atlantic here while landside everything is just as disturbed. A Palm Beach cop is planning a million dollar heist (mob money) with two old army buddies; a millionaire's junkie daughter has disappeared; a top heavy dissipated mother is scheming to get some of her impotent husband's eight million dollar inheritance obstructed by her cantankerous mother-in-law; and an ancient alcoholic is trying to barter a silver slipper into a bottle of port. Everything ties in, inevitably, in a king-sized man's story complete with a wild gambit on the gaming tables, an into-the-eye-of-the-storm rescue, and a murder. It'll carry the unthinking man along.
