Taking in THE BRIDGE TO CARACAS feels like watching an action movie. You will find yourself at the edge of your seat, rooting for the good guy, Mike King, to triumph over the bad guy, Jim Servito, and to end up wining the girl, Karen Taylor. Inspired by a real crime, where scam netted an amount “that makes The New York State Lottery look like a Sunday school collection,” here is a plot-driven story, which opens right into action, with the scene of hijacking a plane. You will find yourself with Karen Taylor being abducted.Having worked for the two largest oil companies in the world (Exxon and royal Dutch Shell) and for the smallest oil companies in the world (his own) Stephen Douglas has a unique familiarity with his subject matter, so you will keep guessing at the borderlines between truth and fiction. He writes what he knows, and he does so with a brisk, cinematic pace that dabs danger with romance.Five stars.
