About the Book

This book delivers an honest, non-fiction account of Bobby Goodman, the main character, from his teenage days as a young mule delivering numbers, packages of drugs and money for the Chicago outfit. He suffers the ravages of war in Vietnam, the graphic, devastating, firefights, the ambush killing zones and the trauma of drug induced stupors in a combat zone, which all effect his judgment and his psyche. His lust for money and power drives his ambition to create his own illegal business opportunities in Chicago, Illinois, Vietnam and Australia. His ever increasing drug addiction takes him to the heights of euphoria and sexual fantasies to the devastation of a drug induced bottomless pit. The main character continuously walks a tightrope on the edge of the abyss with twists and turns, conspiracies and murder that will compel you to read on.
