About this ebook
While an employee for the energy giant Benjamin Dover, Inc., Preston Cash plays a major role in the worst case of corporate fraud in recorded history. Also, Cash’s ill-chosen words of celebration having to do with sodomizing of an elderly woman named Millie are secretly recorded. When the corporation tanks, Preston's scandalous statement becomes widely publicized and eventually grows to symbolize Ben Dover’s sordid affair. Consequently, the prim and proper Grandma Millies Social Club of Coastal Southern California hires an inept killer to exact revenge for besmirching their good name.
But Preston’s larcenous behavior does not stop with his exploits at Ben Dover, Inc. He skips bail, moves to Chicago, and begins employment with a group of Lutheran activists, from whom he embezzles $400,000. While working for the Lutherans, he falls under the spell of the voluptuous Presbyterian spy, Ms. Lydia Bun-King. Enchanted by Lydia’s feminine charms the star struck Preston’s normally quick and agile mind slows precipitously.
Their money gone and facing bankruptcy, the Lutheran activists enlist the services of a fledgling cabal of militant Lutherans to track down their embezzler who for the second time in his life leaves town in a hurry. Meanwhile, Preston takes refuge in a secret, quasi religious commune. But, alas, things do not go well inside the religious community. In fact one might say they end disastrously.
Will the Lutherans get their money back?
Will the Grandma Millies experience the sweet taste of revenge?
Will Preston Cash hookup with Lydia Bun-King?
