Book Description
What do part-time prostitutes, penny-pinching lawyers, pasta-guzzling partners, and snubbed British wives have in common? One man cheated them all. Joseph has just been laid off from his company, and then fleeced out of $3.2 million in stock options by its president. Revenge is on Joseph's mind as he sits down to a gourmet meal with his wacky group of friends. As they formalize their plot, we meet wildly funny characters: Part-time Sally, law student by day, lady of pleasure by night; wool-wearing UK Maggie, who recognized the smell of Sally's perfume on her husband; and Adios Raul, attorney and renowned cheapskate. Joseph, Portia, and best friend, Fat Max, mastermind the plan, and hilarity ensues as they carry it out. The aftermath of Joseph's evil plot is the story, and we read with pleasure as Joseph and his cronies take advantage of their opportunities. Set in Sacramento, California, much of the action takes place at notable city landmarks and prominent restaurants, but the amusingly named characters also take us through Nevada, Paris, the Emerald Isle, and the wilds of United Airlines from Sacramento to New York. In Joseph's Revenge, we are treated to a rollicking ride through the world of corporate politics by way of whorehouses and houseboats.
