A maintenance man in the witness protection plan attracts unwanted media attention when he saves the lives of three people.
Synopsis: SAINT BOB DAY
With five years in the Witness Protection Program, Bob Deighton, at the age of sixty-one, is living quietly under his new identity as Bob Day, a maintenance man at a four diamond oceanfront resort hotel in North Florida, the Belle Rive Lodge and Club.
A former key witness in the trial in Alabama of the notorious white slaver, Larry, “the Cherry” Wilhoite, whose various criminal enterprises included the Cherry Red Employment Agency, purveyor of au pairs to the rich and famous, and Russian brides and sex workers to offshore oil rigs, also illegal bingo machines to roadhouses throughout the South, Bob Deighton, a trucking executive from Ray-Mor Trucking, was instrumental in convicting Wilhoite of interstate transport of gambling equipment.
With the arrival at the Lodge of the Senator from Alabama, J. T. Rutland, Bob learns that Larry Wilhoite, whose real name is Aronoyad Wilgusku, is out on parole, but not before Bob experiences a most extraordinary day in which he saves three lives, suddenly attracting attention to himself from the local media.
Bob’s low-key anonymity is thrown into upheaval, but he chooses to stay, which further complicates his no-longer-simple life.
