Disaster Plan: Copyright: Txu 814-363

Disaster Plan blends realistic pro football action with the evils of gambling, drugs, greed and power. An aggressive tabloid sports columnist, Casey will face numerous gut-wrenching moral and ethical decisions that aren’t in black or white. While pursuing this story from Berlin to Los Angeles, Casey becomes romantically involved with Sun flight attendant Suzy Peters. The newspaperman’s allies include Miami P. M. managing editor Larry Bloom, sports writer Jorge Cunill, Miami police Maj. Leroy Hess, Sun Air Capt. Dick Norton and team chaplain Father Francis J. O’Malley. When a Sun Air DC-10 charter bringing the Sharks home to Miami after a Thanksgiving Day game in Dallas crashes in the Everglades killing his pal Cunill, Casey dedicates himself to breaking the baffling case that features a laundry list of possible saboteurs. As he appears ready to break the case, the saboteurs kidnap Suzy. When the FBI and police flounder, a most unlikely group aids Casey.
