Gerry Burke writes short stories and commentary on subjects
relating to politics, entertainment, sport, and travel. In this
collection of humorous adult tales, Paddy Pest and the author's
other notorious characters really come to life.
PADDY PEST: As a crime fighter, the indefatigable Paddy Pest
bumbles around, but he gets things done. His adventures and
misadventures require him to confront his own demons, dames,
debt-collectors and villains of every description. In his spare
time, Paddy likes to relax at the casino, the track, or at his
favorite gentlemen's club.
THE ACHIEVERS: Some people will do anything to get where they
want to be. Here, politicians, film stars, sport stars, and
intrepid entrepreneurs are each obsessively vying for their place
in the sun. They have one thing in common: they're all in the hot
seat.
TRANSITION: Evolution is not just a philosophical phenomenon; a
change of job, an ambitious determination, or an ounce of luck can
all be motivation enough to change one's circumstances-though not
always for the better. Meet a gaggle of ordinary folks who do
extraordinary things, mostly for their own benefit.
