In 1916 three wealthy ruthless oil barons defy the government’s anti-trust legislation, secretly join forces and create the Pinnacle Club. They were successful – keeping secret control over their precious commodity and passing down the club to their heirs with all its secrets, power, and money. Everything was running smoothly, until…
Decades later, Navy engineer, Dick Powell, accidentally discovers a process that produces copious amounts of hydrogen gas almost for free. But the Club’s tentacles are too deep, and they discover what Powell uncovered. Since Powell, and his discovery, are now a competitive danger to their global monopoly on energy, they plot against him. Suspecting treachery and fearing for his life, Powell leaves clues for a future generation.
Dick’s hunch and faith turned out to be on target when the right person, his grandson Sandy Powell, inherits the family farm and uncovers his grandfather’s long-hidden secret. What ensues is a race against time as Sandy sorts through his grandfather’s discovery while inadvertently putting himself, his new girlfriend, and his trusty golden retriever in harm’s way of the still stealth tentacles of the Pinnacle Club…
This tale of power, money, murder, and ruthlessness is a real page-turner.
Reviews
TGS, I love the plotline of “The Pinnacle Club”.
Evil greedy oilmen striving to control their fortunes over decades. This plot alone leaves the reader on edge. But the magic of this book is in the interrelationship of the key characters who love, fall in love, and totally trust in each other. The writing has pace. The story moves along. And the reader will hate the bad guys, love the good guys, and be surprised by others.
Bill Rogers, “A riveting story that had me drawn in from the start. Drew Thorn weaves a great tale that kept me intrigued from beginning to end and still yearning for more..”
Marian Palmer, “The Pinnacle Club captivates the reader’s curiosity and weaves one through decades and pivotal locations and events before the intriguing journey is exposed. Must read!!“
