{"product_id":"thumbs-down-david-cauthen-9781449071424","title":"Thumbs Down","description":"The telephone's insistent ringing at three in the morning snatched Sam Workman from dreamless sleep. \"Hello,\" he mumbled. \"This is a warning,\" said a digitally altered voice. \"Leave Betterton now! If you don't, you won't live long enough to regret it.\" \"Who is this?\" Sam angrily demanded to a dead line. \"Unknown name, unknown number,\" blinked the call identifier. \"Coward!\" Workman growled and slammed down the receiver. The call was the first episode in a conspiracy to force Sam and his business, B\u0026amp;W Concrete, out of Betterton or destroy them. Followed were attempts to oust B\u0026amp;W from two construction projects, a hospital addition and an engine plant, totaling $400 million in construction costs to yield B\u0026amp;W $10 million profits. Sam retains attorney Penn Roman to stem the tide of disastrous actions drowning B\u0026amp;W in a flood of claims of incompetency and fraud and more threats and violence against Sam, Penn, and Penn's family. When a testing lab employee working on the projects disappears, and the newspaper prints libelous articles condemning B\u0026amp;W, Penn and Sam find themselves entangled in a web of greed, deceit, violence, and murder. Courageously, they face the schemers in an explosive and telling trial to the finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Cauthen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1449071422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449071424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.55d","brand":"David Cauthen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930792280319,"sku":"9781449071424","price":25.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_623dc573-9950-46a9-a5f4-114d694f1693.jpg?v=1766344303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thumbs-down-david-cauthen-9781449071424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
