About the Author
Vincent Patrick has a work background appropriate for a novelist’s book jacket. Born in the Bronx, New York, he finished both high school and engineering college at night and has had a remarkable range of jobs. He’s been a door-to-door Bible salesman, bartender, restaurant owner, Standard-bred Pacer owner, vice-president of an engineering consulting firm, teacher in a community college (writing fiction in the off-hours from his late teens.) After the publication of his first novel, The Pope of Greenwich village, he wrote screenplays for many years, including the script for the movie of Pope of Greenwich Village (with Micky Rouark and Eric Roberts) and for the movie of his second novel, Family Business (Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Mathew Broderick, Directed by Sidney Lumet.) He says that he wrote SMOKE SCREEN as 'a thriller with an emphasis on character, including the villain's.'

Plaintiff's attorneys have filed a $200 billion lawsuit that the industry will be unable to appeal. America's tobacco companies react by doing the unthinkable -- they close their plants and recall their products from retailers' shelves. Not another cigarette will be manufactured or sold until the industry is given ironclad protection from the courts. Trevor becomes the target of enraged smokers, gun-toting cigarette smugglers, and a government that has been cut off from one of its largest sources of revenue. Soon it becomes clear that his role has always been to take the brunt of the backlash and shield the men in power from the maelstrom they'd created.Abandoned by friends, family, and the industry his own ancestors helped build, Trevor finds an unlikely ally in a beautiful anti-tobacco lobbyist with whom he's secretly been in love for years. Together they hatch a plan to fight back. . . . Seller Inventory # 00055093137
