Synopsis
In "Slipstream," Leslie Larson traces the intertwining paths of five characters as each struggles to stay afloat in the face of major setbacks, minor failures, and a reckless pursuit of elusive second chances. When Rudy loses his job cleaning jets at the airport, his sanity and his marriage threaten to follow. While his wife, Inez, secretly saves her pennies and plots an escape, his coworker Wylie, a bartender at LAX, is about to receive the surprise of his life. Meanwhile, Wylie's brother, Logan, freshly released from jail, tries desperately to stay out of trouble while traipsing through a minefield of temptation. And Logan's daughter Jewell is nursing a heart broken once by an unfaithful girlfriend and again by a father who can't seem to stick around. Though they don't know it, these five people are headed toward an explosive event that will have consequences for them all.
Deftly weaving suspense, humor, and revelation, "Slipstream" is a rich human drama with the breathless pace of a thriller and the soul of classic noir. Also available as a Books on Tape AudioBook and as an eBook

Reviews
Fives lives intersect at LAX in an explosive climax. As Stephen Hoye reveals the frustrations in the family and work lives of these five people, their normalcy is left behind, and some of their voices get downright creepy. The cast is made up of Wylie, an airport bartender who is about to become a father; his niece, whose lesbian lover has just jilted her and her father who is recently released from prison; and recently fired airplane cleaner Rudy and his wife, Inez, who is plotting to leave him. Hoye captures the thoughts and voices of all the characters with distinction. How they will all meet up is the question in listeners' minds as each individual's drama unfolds.
