Book excerpt: In 1931, five individuals who met by happenstance one weekend in Glenwood, Minnesota secretly brought down a clandestine mob-run enterprise at a nearby remote lake resort. They wisely and determinedly stayed quiet about their success to thwart probable underworld reprisal; yet, in the months and years that followed they often were called upon to save each other from rumors and inquiries as to their possible involvement. They did so by whatever means or methods were required. One of the conspirators, Adam Bailey, about to enter college at the time of the original mob bust, luckily faces little anxiety or threats compared to the others....that is, until graduation. Thats when his good fortune sours. He unexpectedly crosses paths with one of the key gangsters from that extraordinary incident four years before. The encounter leads Bailey to take on a job that requires international travel, particularly in Italy, France, and Switzerland. Through 1937 he builds a profitable clientele base until the war in Europe gradually depreciates his hard work. His experience, though, brings him a new opportunity....with the U.S. Defense Department ...to observe any military build-up in Italy as he carries out his regular business. The additional job carries seemingly only marginal risk until the spring of 1940 when he suddenly finds himself in a Milan, Italy jail ...the charges undefined. Shortly, he realizes hes being framed. The situation worsens and he escapes. In his quest to flee to France, he gets even deeper into his dilemma now having to outwit Italian and Swiss pursuers as well as those who framed him. Life and death choices are nonstop as he seeks his freedom. In this third addition of the Minnesota Lake Series, the original story is once again enlarged showing how that chance meeting of those five individuals years before...and the actions they took against the mob... continues to have serious impact on not just Adam Bailey, but on all the lives of his fellow conspirators who defied the mob that weekend.

The other, Lindy MacPherson, had more serious business. As an inexperienced investigator from the Minneapolis branch of the U.S. Attorneys office, her task was to explore a rumor about an alleged gambling operation in the vicinity of Lake Minnewaska. It was supposed to be a simple job neither lengthy nor precariousmore to give her investigative experience while under cover as a travel magazine writer. Shed been observing the same odd occurrences in the town. The other two, a local father and son, John and Adam Bailey, had been ignoring these unusual activities and antics of the peculiar assortment of guests at nearby Chippewa Lodge like everyone else in town. It had been best to do so for the good of the community. Glenwood was thriving during an otherwise very difficult economic time all around the country. MacPhersons orders had been strict.

Download or read book Cheever written by Blake Bailey and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2009 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Cheever was one of the foremost chroniclers of post-war America, a peerless writer who on his death in 1982 left not only some of the best short stories of the twentieth century and a number of highly acclaimed novels, but also a private journal that runs to an astonishing four million words. Cheever’s was a soul in conflictm who hid his troubles - alcoholism, secret bisexuality - behind the screen of genial life in suburbia, but as John Updike came to remark: ‘Only he saw in its cocktail parties and swimming pools the shimmer of dissolving dreams . . .’ Blake Bailey, writing with unprecedented access to the journal and other sources, has brought characteristic eloquence and sensitivity to his interpretation of Cheever’s life and work. This is a luminous biography that reveals – behind the disguises with which he faced the world – a troubled but strangely lovable man, and a writer of timeless fiction. ‘Stunningly detailed . . . Even more eloquent and resourceful than Bailey’s celebrated biography of Richard Yates, A Tragic Honesty . . . Bailey’s interweaving of Cheever’s fiction with his experience is a tour de force’ New York Times Book Review
