a novel by John Davis Collins
If money is flowing out of both pockets and you believe you live in an age of unbriddled prosperity, you're either a civil servant or you live in a dream or both. Don't Tax Your Brain. Read no further. On the other hand the average Joe or Jane might enjoy a snap shot of some real life...
Angels tracks the wayward course of young lawyer Ben Bacone and his mature, seasoned Mentor Jack Nater as they confront the dislocations ofbrave new world of computorization... BEN BACONE is a young lawyer in search of a dream, or at least a song...

  • the displacement of the Vietnam Veteran.
This is no butler did it story!
