Book description
Meet Jim Haskin. He's forty years old. He's worth around thirty-five
million. He runs his own San Francisco ad firm, American Weather.
AmWe's image is green and forward-looking: if your product is
upcycled, or hydro or vegan, they'll make you an ad. However, behind
the scenes, Jim supports the old captains of American industry:
bleach, beer, guns.
One day Jim is asked to come up with something extra-special. The
scheme he devises brings together a Death Row inmate, pay-per-view
television, and most of America's largest corporations.
Everything is set for it to be his greatest achievement yet.
