About this ebook
Walter Johnson has a happy life with loving parents and siblings in a remote Tennessee valley. But in the summer of his fourteenth year the happy and loving part of his life is taken from him. His father is injured, hospitalized, and weeks later he returns but his father has changed. A dreary frightening existence begins for the Johnson's as their family slowly disintegrates. Walter has a serious confrontation with his father and is invited to live another family. Only a few miles separate him from his family and each time he sees them with new marks, cuts, and bruises on their face and bodies. He witnesses a most despicable event and plans to respond with an equally horrific act and he is successful.
Walter travels to Detroit to start a new life. He begins a job search but after weeks without an offer he begins asking for any work. In one office, a wealthy businessman, Jim O’Connor recognizes Walter's potential and offers him a job and a place to live. O’Connor is the consummate dealer and a worldwide business matchmaker and he has hired one the best men he has ever met and he’s only sixteen.
Twenty five years later a rich and beautiful Linda Bronson has secured the perfect life but attempts suicide after her husband leaves her for another woman. Walter finds Linda naked and bleeding in her bathtub. Months later Linda leaves Pinehurst with a new normal but not perfect life. She is intent on striking back at her ex and as she learns of his infidelities her hit list grows. She is equally intent on keeping Walter near her. Linda is Jim's daughter and she has known Walter since she was twelve. She has watched Walter become very successful under her father's tutelage but unknown to anyone he has is a quiet billionaire with global connections.
Drop Off is about the lives of the rich, the rising rich, the wannabe and the use to be rich and how particular segments of the community behave as they wheel and deal for more power, money, and sex and it all happens in the homes, business, and clubs in two of the most prestigious communities in America.
Robert Brannan
Robert Brannan began writing poetry and short stories in 1980s. The writing of novels began in the early 90s but he has waited until now to publish the first of three novels. Drop-Off is the first to be published The second is Drop-In which will be out in the fall of 2013. The third novel, Drop-Out will be available in the summer of 2014. Brannan has lived a most interesting and diverse life. Early in his career Robert Brannan was a legal clerk and officer in a large court system. A few years later he had become a player in but not a member of high society. He has a working friendship with some of the very wealthy and most powerful individuals and families in the United States and Europe. His most distinctive career continues today. Some of the events in his life have been horrendous and there can be little doubt that these experiences have been a major factor in his writing. The most dramatic of these events has been the murder of eleven friends and associates. Only two remain unsolved. A novel he plans to write, "Murder's Square," is a true story about two of his former employees. Their hatred for their immediate superior ends in his death by a homemade explosive device. No real suspects exists for a year and during that time the killers continued to work in their positions. An arrest for assault by one of these men caused the FBI to look more closely at them. They eventually confessed to additional crimes including kidnap, rape, and murder of three women. During their two year rampage they committed over fifty armed robberies in six states. Both are in prison for the rest of their lives. There are many novels remaining in Robert Brannan's mind and he hopes to write all of them.
