Smoke Screen By Kyle Mills

Preliminary rating: 4.8Q

Thirty-two-year-old Trevor Barnett has inadvertently become the lead
spokesman for the tobacco industry just as it's on the verge of
extinction, facing a $200 billion lawsuit that it will be unable to
appeal. America's tobacco companies react by doing the unthinkable
-closing their plants and recalling their products.

The message is clear: no more cigarettes until the industry is given
iron-clad protection from the courts.

As the economy falters and chaos takes hold, Trevor finds himself the
target of enraged smokers, gun-toting smugglers, and a government that
has been cut off from one of its largest sources of revenue. Soon it
becomes apparent that this had always been his function to take the
brunt of the backlash and shield the men in power from the maelstrom
they'd created. As he is slowly abandoned by an industry that his own
ancestors helped to create, Trevor begins to fight back.

Kyle Mills continues to explore the controversial subjects that have
won him legions of fans and accolades around the globe. Fascinating in
concept, rich in characters, and broad in appeal, Smoke Screen has all
the trademark flair of his previous novels and proves that he is one of
the most accomplished writers working in the genre today.
