New York City, 1972. California ad-man Henry Bell joins the Nixon re-election campaign.
His son is missing in Viet Nam. His ex-wife has landed in a Connecticut suburb. Both a federal grand jury and a teenaged actress require his attention. And to uncover the truth of his own life, he needs to weave a safe route through the troubles caused by a cast of advertising misfits; through stacks of cash, secret films, and plain-clothes cops; through bribery, burglary, and blackmail.
Follow Bell from Madison Avenue to Universal City, and from San Diego to Washington, D.C. Meet Bertie Kahn, the legendary "sound-man," who wrote his first jingles while building booster engines for Project Apollo; Sal Pacinetti, ex-Democrat, free-lance romantic, and drug-addled guardian of the Central Park lagoon; and Tasha Kelly, alias Tanya, the fashion model who meets her maker on the cold gray banks of the Hudson River. And hold on tight when their destinies collide, on a moonlit night under marble stone.
This is the world of SPLIT THIRTY: where politics meets advertising, at the cross of hope and faith.
