Mommie Dearest: An Andy Eastman novel

It s 2002 and Andy Eastman s life is falling apart. Eager to begin his summer vacation, Andy returns home to find a note from his wife: she s left him, sick of his laissez-faire attitude toward life. Instead of confronting his problems, he agrees to help a friend find out what s wrong with her husband, a lawyer recently fired by Boeing, Andy s employer. Andy uncovers a conspiracy involving Boeing, the lawyer, and rapacious co-conspirators and all hell breaks loose: his son and two of his son s friends are abducted and the lawyer goes missing. Bewildered, dismayed, increasingly desperate, Andy shatters his self-image as a Vietnam vet turned pacifist, a man more prone to turn a cheek than throw a punch. He has no choice. He must rescue the boys it s his only hope to save his marriage and the lives of those he cherishes.
