Jeremy Block: Flight Risk

About the Book

In March of 1982 in Barnsfield, Massachusetts, attractive Patricia Kent turned thirty years old and was a successful realtor. She had taken over her father’s business after he suffered a debilitating stroke, which he was slowly recovering from. She was still grieving the loss of her husband, who had died suddenly four years earlier and after only four months of marriage. Through a girlfriend of hers who owned a small airplane, she met Jeremy Block, who worked as a small aircraft mechanic at a local airport. Jeremy was tall, handsome, and appeared to be a perfect gentleman. Before very long, he and Patricia began seriously dating and soon became engaged. Jeremy’s apparent kindness and feelings for her were comforting after the recent years of sadness she had experienced. Before long, Jeremy learned of Patricia’s excellent financial standing achieved from lucrative property sales commissions and wise stock market investments. When Patricia was sidetracked by a family tragedy, he absconded with twenty thousand dollars of her money and an almost priceless coin collection that belonged to her father. Devastated when learning of this, she hired a private detective to attempt to locate Jeremy and her father’s stolen coins and bring him to justice. Before long, facts surfaced that painted an entirely different picture of Jeremy Block. Instead of the well-mannered, caring young man he portrayed, he was actually a con man and a thief and was possibly responsible for several murders. With twists and turns, Patricia took on a mission to apprehend Jeremy with the help of the private detective.
