About the Book
Title: Ernie and the Evils of Insurance
Author: Brent Ayscough
Genre: Mystery Thriller
Ernie, an experienced logger from rural
Washington State, loses his job when the logging operation he works for is shut
down due to the spotted owl. When he goes in to apply for unemployment, Ernie
is persuaded to take a job out of state as a temporary insurance adjuster in
Los Angeles. While he knows that Los Angeles will be a lot different than Sedro
Woolley, Washington, and insurance adjusting a lot different than logging,
really, how hard can it be? And there are lots of downed trees in Southern
California after the recent earthquake and storms they had there. So packing up
his trusty chainsaw in his saddlebags, Ernie hops on his motorcycle and heads
south. But to his dismay, Ernie discovers that LA is a lot farther from
Washington in more than just miles. Unprepared for the corruption and
callousness rampant in the insurance industry, Ernie soon finds himself not
only in trouble with his job, but on the top of an assassin’s hit list. Still,
although Ernie might be a hick from the sticks, he’s far from stupid. Blessed
with an innate intelligence, an abundance of common sense, and a redneck sense
of humor, Ernie will give his enemies a hilarious run for their money…if he can
just survive long enough.
He’d thought logging was a dangerous
occupation, but it had nothing on insurance adjusting...
Under the boat, Ernie heard the whirring noise of the
air saw and turned to see a man coming at him. At first, he first thought the
coast guard had arrived.
Innocenti expected there might be a deck hand, but had
not expected to see someone underneath trying to fix the shaft log. Seeing the
man, he moved in aggressively with the air saw, tethered by the yellow air hose
to the pump in the speedboat. Swimming rapidly toward the man trying to fix the
shaft log, he charged forward, without fear, attacking with his air saw
whirring at five thousand rpm, followed by little bubbles of air after the
pressurized air spun the saw.
Completely surprised to meet someone trying to kill
him, Ernie was startled and instinctively backed up, but not fast enough. The
assailant struck Ernie in his side, and the spinning blade went through the
skin to his ribs. But fortunately for Ernie, his jumping back had kept the saw
blade from cutting deeply into him and severing his ribs.
Ernie pedaled back a few more feet, blood coming out
of his side. He then knew it definitely was not the coast guard, and this would
be a fight to the death.
