Profile Three

Jack Pymble is bored with the redundancy of his work as a statistician. Each day seems to be filled with the same mundane tasks. When his boss requests that he “fix” some numbers on a government report, Jack refuses and becomes a liability to the company. When a mechanic, encouraging him to change his mind, confronts him in his office, Jack barely escapes with his life.

What started as a simple report escalates into guns, smuggling, and a political situation that must be stopped at all cost. Jack might have daydreamed about a more exciting life, but nothing in his wildest imaginings could rival the dangerous course he is now on. Can a simple statistician and a surprisingly beautiful accomplice match wits and survive against an organization determined to destroy them?

Dave Field is to be applauded for creating a work that is not only a fast paced adventure story, but also an exceptionally realistic depiction of Australia. The dialogue and setting are impeccable and transport readers easily into this brief glimpse at a much seedier side of politics and greed. Jack and his willing accomplice, Susan, display a blend of ingenuity and luck that makes their exploits believable and ensures that the tension within the plot never falters. As the web closes in around them, the author makes certain that the reader is on edge to see how long this pair can beat the odds mounting against them. Mr. Field has injected this originally done plot with details and supporting characters that truly bring the work to life. From start to finish, Profile Three will hold your attention and take you on an adventure laden with action and intrigue.
