Commentary Concering Books The Bridge To Caracas (The King Trilogy #1)
Librarian Note: Alternate Cover Edition for ASIN: B00DJ5GM14.How was an incredible $325,000,000 theft achieved using The Peace Bridge as a fulcrum?
It was a piece of national history. The story had to be told.
One of the largest and most audacious gasoline tax evasion scams in Canadian and U.S. history.
The perpetrator used The Peace Bridge, spanning The Niagara River, to facilitate his crime, and his private Cessna to transport the enormous fruits of the theft to the “safety” of a Cayman Island bank.
The scam netted an amount “that makes The New York State Lottery look like a Sunday school collection.”
Cynical and remorselessly ruthless, the thief possesses a brilliant criminal mind, has enormous contempt for the law, police, governments, and the system in which they function. He assumes rules are for fools, and takes sadistic pleasure in breaking them.

This is one of the fastest moving suspense novels I have read in a while. Underneath it all GREED is a powerful motivator which can ultimately grab in it's clutches both criminal minds and seemingly good and honest people. The oil industry with it's billions to be had in profits is where the action takes place. Within this story there are a couple of star-crossed lovers. Although this could conceivably happen-and may have partially according to the authors bio-I truly think that regulating theRags to riches, romance and tragedy, a pounding page turner based on the gasoline industry. I've just finished The bridge to Caracas and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Stephen Douglass writes brilliantly about an industry that he's made his life blood and shares some of the dirt and some of the success of what was, and still is, a pretty rough business. Gasoline (or Petrol as we know it here in Australia) was a boom and bust industry in the seventies and eighties. Fortunes were made by fair
I found the author's writing style breezy, somewhat hurried, at times a bit outlandish...particularly the poolside battle between the antagonists, Servito et al., & the protagonists, Mike & Karen. There are radical shifts of emotions among the characters throughout the book, except, perhaps, for Servito who is consistently a bad-un from the git go, with no sense of value for anything but his own pleasure & money. To his credit, I found that Douglass somehow able to build an
The Bridge to Caracas totally captured my imagination! There are many aspects of this book, but they all weave together seamlessly to create an exciting thriller; a story of crime, vengeance, and a love triangle.Jim Servito is an American draft dodger who snuck into Canada. He ends up in Toronto, pumping gas for Pop Williams, who has taken a liking to him and lets him sleep in a room at the back of the office. Pops is happy to teach Jim the honest rules of the gasoline business. Jim is looking
I really enjoyed this book. Oil and gasoline aren't subjects that come up too often in my reading, so I found this really interesting, especially since I knew practically nothing about the business behind it, and the possible corruption. The book has suspense and a bit of romance, and kept me engaged the whole time. I listened to the Audible audio version and I enjoyed the narration by Mathias Lenssen. I thought he did a good job giving unique voices to the characters without them sounding too

Very interesting read. The two main characters are Mike King and Jim Servito who are both in the gas and oil industry, they have one other thing in common,Karen Taylor. Karen and Mike knew each other first and probably would have gotten married, but Mike decided to change his life and left in a search to see where life would take him. When he was gone, Karen was in a hijacked plane. When it exploded, all thought she was dead. Karen resurfaces, her life miraculously spared, but Mike is married.
