{"product_id":"9781465322609","title":"In Search of Jason","description":"\u003cp\u003eIN SEARCH OF JASON is the story of Jason Reilly, a lowly employee at B.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePictures, a cut-rate New York City film production company, whose owner, Mr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eB. is a confidante of many curious characters inhabiting both sides of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elaw. In the course of one of his many errands for Mr. B., Jason goes to hand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esome papers to a diplomat at the United Nations and in the course of his\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etime there, misplaces a film script he was carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom that loss, dire consequences arise, for the film for which the script\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewas written was to have been shot in the Caribbean, with the production\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eserving as cover for a drug-courier operation run by one of Mr. B.´s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eless-than-legitimate pals, an underworld dynamo named Sicky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to his illegal interests, Sicky has entertained a lifelong\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elegitimate interest in some day becoming a major feature film producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus, the idea of someone like Jason not only endangering his profits, which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewould be bad enough, but also imperiling his cinematic opportunity of a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elifetime is an outrage to which the only answer can be one of summary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexecution!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, it´s one thing when you´re seeking to prove your innocence to a law\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eofficer who, theoretically, is subject to some constraints, but when you´re\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etrying to explain yourself to a paranoid gunman who acknowledges no laws\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esave those in his own, options become more limited. Such is the case for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, after narrowly avoiding being murdered in his bed and getting run over\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eby a speeding car aimed at a pay phone booth he´s calling from, Jason makes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehis escape from the city. He heads for the New Jersey Turnpike, Chesapeake\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBay, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, the Florida swamps, Miami and,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efinally, the Caribbean´s blue carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong he way, he picks up a partner in crime - or perhaps innocence. Dr. Sam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlbert is a former 1960s college revolutionary, present-day psychiatrist and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoff-hours bush pilot, whose set of wings Jason finds useful in Miami, when\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe ship´s captain he´s hired to take him afloat begins to cause problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater, while island-hopping in the Caribbean with Albert, Jason gets,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunwittingly, another partner in the form of Aringapu, a Central American\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian whose ancestors, 500 years earlier, were either massacred or driven\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoff the very island where Sicky now proposes to set up his supreme shoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou wouldn´t expect Jason to come to earth practically right under Sicky´s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRay-Bans. You´d think it would be the last place Aringapu would want to turn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eup in, too. You´d think, above all, that the good Dr. Albert, skilled in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eproviding wise counsel and comfort, would look out for Jason´s interests and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efly him out at once. You´d be wrong on all counts, particularly on the last!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou might also expect, on this page, to find out how it all wraps up, but\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethis place is meant to stimulate your appetite, not satiate it. All that can\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebe said for now is that, in a curious and appropriate way, the punishment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efits the crime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156808188144,"sku":"9781465322609","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781465322609_p0.jpg?v=1763683296","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781465322609","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
