Publisher's Synopsis
4th novel... A crime drama... where the blood, sweat, and tears come from the other guy or gal... The Quartet is Austin, Stu, Frank, and Tom. Four men with equal talents, varied skills live, work, and play in hot sizzling Miami, Florida, USA. Franklin Ferdinand Mangrove, III is a life time brother, a permanent business partner, and the peaceful neighbor of Austin. Stuart Thant Gage, III is a life time brother, a permanent business partner, and the protective neighbor of Austin. Thomas Edison Sawyer, III is a life time brother, a permanent business partner, and the troublesome neighbor of Austin. Austin Bartholomew Berrington, IV is the first born non-biological brother, the head of the business, and the boss of the Quartet. The men call themselves, the Band of Brothers, but they are not biological siblings. They are blood brothers like their individual biological great grandfathers in the year 1838 within the wild forests of northern Florida, who formed the first blood pact. Presently, the fourth generation of the Quartet, the four billionaire brothers own and operate one fourth of an international security company. The business venture is named Quartet Associates, but the owners are sometimes dubbed by their dying enemies and their sneering foes as Quartet Assholes. Currently, Stu is still not using his brains, his balls, and his billions making trouble while causing the rest of the Quartet heartache and angry.
