Summary:
Bob Patterson considers himself an everymanalbeit an everyman with a rich, beautiful wife, two good kids, and a mail-it-in job that ignores his law degree. Despite his good fortune, Bob is idling through life, bored at work and at home. In short, he is the proverbial coaster.
Bobs wife, Sarah, is the anointed heir to the empire built by her father, Sam, a kind of Kansas City, Missouri, Warren Buffet. Fine by Bob, the family soccer mom, but early one morning he and Sarah awake to terrible news.
Sams death reveals he appointed Bob to be the trustee of his personal fortune and, as the IRS currently has it, hell be in charge of his mother-in-laws money. Even more terrifying, Bob realizes he faces the prospect of actually working all day, for stakes that matter.
Is the reappearance of Bobs wildest fraternity brother from college and a proposal from a bland businessman with a plan that seems too good to be true mere coincidence? After a lifetime of choosing the path of least resistance, will Bob finally take a stand when his family needs him most? If so, where?
Bob peppers his story with sports and pop culture references and wry commentary on everything from the sex lives of married couples (such as they are) to the enormous cost of being honored at a charitable event. Bob knows what the hero should do in the situations he encounters (hes read the books and seen the movies, too). He doesnt have a very particular set of skills or a secret past in the special forces. Hes just a regular guy who handles extreme pressure and threats to his family about like youd expect (not well). Its going to take all hes got (really, more than hes got) to raise his game. Fortunately hes got an ace-in-the-holeat home.
Darkly comic, The Coaster turns the conventions of the mystery/suspense genre upside down.
