Summary
  • "Joe Stratford is someone you like at once. He makes an honest living helping nice people buy and sell nice houses. His not very amicable divorce is finally settled, and he's ready to begin again. It's 1982. He is pretty happy, pretty satisfied. But a different era has dawned; Joe's new friend, Marcus Burns from New York, seems to be suggesting that the old rules are ready to be repealed, that now is the time you can get rich quick. Really rich.
  • And Marcus not only knows that everyone is going to get rich, he knows how. Because Marcus just quit a job with the IRS." "But is Joe ready for the kind of success Marcus promises he can deliver? And what's the real scoop on Salt Key Farm? Is this really the development opportunity of a lifetime?".
  • "And then there's Felicity Ornquist, the lovely, feisty, winning (and married) daughter of Joe's mentor and business partner. She has finally owned up to her feelings for Joe: She's just been waiting for him to be available." "The question Joe asks himself, over and over, is, Does he have the gumption? Does he have the smarts and the imagination and the staying power to pay attention - to Marcus and to Felicity - and reap the rewards?"--BOOK JACKET.
