Product Description

This, another of Jack Eadon's American Drama novels, features young Marcus Ramsay, an idealist, trusting and naive, in business and relationships. Marcus is opening a specialty advertising photography studio in Tustin, California. Before he has even signed the lease on his studio, or officially opened for business, an unscrupulous group of competitive studios owners begins a campaign to ensure that Ramsay's business fails.

However, still feeling failure in his earlier corporate career and devastated by his failed marriage, Marcus arranges to meet the twin sister of Jessica, one of his models. Her sister Suzanne is a Grand Canyon park ranger who is steeped in Hopi Indian lore and ancient Indian healing tradition.

Jack Eadon received an MBA from University of Chicago in 1974. After spending eight years in corporate America, Eadon began to write seriously. Eadon has also published six other contemporary drama titles. He now writes fulltime from his home in Orange County, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars LATENT IMAGE, September 6, 2002
By 
This review is from: Latent Image (Paperback)
After reading " A Consequence of Greed, " I could not wait to read the authors next book. He uses the same subtle ways of describing his characters, events, and technology. Establishes a plot. Then takes the plot through a twist that you cannot imagine.

5.0 out of 5 stars a stunning climactic surprise finish, October 13, 2006
Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader Views (10/06)

This, another of Jack Eadon's American Drama novels, features young Marcus Ramsay, an idealist, trusting and naïve, in business and relationships. Marcus is opening a specialty advertising photography studio in Tustin, California. Before he has even signed the lease on his studio, or officially opened for business, an unscrupulous group of competitive studios owners begins a campaign to ensure that Ramsay's business fails.

Eadon uses dialog to provide detailed information on photography, photographic equipment, lighting techniques, and photo shoots. This adds to the authenticity and genuineness of his character, Marcus, who again finds himself on the cutting edge in an extremely competitive cut throat market.

Vandalism, embezzlement, and arson force Marcus to near defeat. Encouraged by counseling from friends and peers, Marcus accepts the challenge to rebuild his business.

However, still feeling failure in his earlier corporate career and devastated by his failed marriage, Marcus arranges to meet the twin sister of Jessica, one of his models. Her sister Suzanne is a Grand Canyon park ranger who is steeped in Hopi Indian lore and ancient Indian healing tradition.

As the narrative unfolds and the cast of characters is introduced, Eadon generates a sense of romance, mystery, mistrust, and intrigue. His characters become real, complex, and at risk. Eadon skillfully weaves a question of motive, loyalty, and mistrust as Marcus openly avails himself to them, exposing his vulnerability.

Influenced by the writing of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eadon has dedicated this book to him. Much of the subtleties of plot structure and character are attributed to the inspiration and examples learned from Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Eadon's descriptions of the Grand Canyon, its grandeur, beauty, and enormity, are breathtaking.

Eadon's writing is strong in plot and subplot, and all the elements of good story telling. I savored every page as I journeyed with Marcus Ramsay in his search for purpose and meaning in his work and in his relationships.

A fast moving plot with unexpected twists and turns, Eadon takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of romance, drama, and suspense, with a stunning climactic surprise finish.

Received book free of charge.
