Product Information

The doorbell rings somewhere in California and a box of journals containing a history of what happened when his Father was In The Pursuit of Life carefully written over a period of more than fifty years are delivered to Dr. Alexander Miller. A son that never knew his Father or what happened to him will finally have all his questions answered. A letter of explanation sets the scene for this thriller that began as far back as 1957 and will reveal the mystery of what happened in the life of Harry Miller. Alexander never knew his Parents and always wanted to know what happened to them. The answers we re now being revealed through these journals. The fear of discovery made him wonder if he should read these journals and finally learn what happened in the lives of his Family. Through these journals the story unfolds of how hard his Father, Harry Miller, struggled to save his Son. His pursuit of life was his priority and nothing would stand in Harry s way to make certain there was a future for all of them. Harry was willing to sacrifice anything including his own life to make certain that his Family lived a long and good life. The Journals began in 1957, a time when living in America was the dream of everyone from around the World. This was the Country where success was measured in one s ability to work hard and get ahead. This was the land of prosperity where anyone could be on top of the World if they worked hard. Harry Miller believed in this principal and knew he was blessed when he married his college sweetheart and landed a job fresh out of NYU. He was in heaven riding high on success when his World began crumbling. Little did naive Harry understand that corruption was natural when doing business in New York. The strong prayed on the weak and the Mob prospered by dealing in fear and making sure they took their piece of the action. Harry didn t realize that he was working for the Mob and each day he was getting in deeper and deeper. When Harry decided he wanted to get out he found out that there is no quitting the Mob. He didn t think it would be a problem but much to his surprise he was in for life. He was told in no uncertain terms that there is no quitting and in a fit of rage threatened the Mob with exposure if they did not allow him to retire. This was an error of epic proportions and was overheard by one of the Mob goons who decided to bring this threat to the attention of the big bosses and Harry s Pursuit Of Life began. Back in the 1950 s the Mob influence was very strong in most of the major cities in United States and Canada. In Pursuit of Life is a thriller of one man s struggle to escape the wrath of the Mob and at the same time remain out of reach of the Federal Authorities. His dilemma was further complicated by the fact that he was married to the Bosses Daughter who was one of the bosses in the higher echelon of the Mob. Harry Miller found himself being hunted by both the Mob and the FBI and was a dead man if either organization got a hold of him. Taken from Harry s own entries in his journals we have an accounting of his life and his struggles to keep his Family and himself alive. The adventure begins in New York and reaches across the U.S., Canada and the rest of the World as Harry runs and keeps on running as he attempts to escape his pursuers. Confrontations begin very suddenly for Harry and escalate to an all out war between himself and the Mob as well as the Feds. He is at a loss as to whom he may trust including his own Wife? Faced with this dilemma Harry embarks on a dangerous journey to stay alive and remain one step ahead of his pursuers. There are moments filled with tension as Harry hides out in Manhattan as he tries to formulate a plan that will resolve this matter. Harry s naiveté is obvious as he believes he can get this situation resolved through peaceful negotiations. He slowly finds out that those who claim they are his friends are not exactly what they say they are. He doubts whether he c
