It is a story of a man haunted by love, an 18th Century romantic adventure that takes the reader to the rough and tumble seaport of Liverpool, on a slave ship to Africa, to harrowing adventures and a mutiny at sea, to the fleshpots and slave auctions of Jamaica, and finally to London where he meets his destiny.

INTRODUCING THE RICHEST FAMILY IN AMERICA
High in the dry California hills above the fashionable village of Montecito, slipping in and out of enormous mansions on Swizzle Stick Road, an eccentric wealthy family is under siege.
In David Drum's whimsical comic novel, Introducing the Richest Family in America, a crooked lawyer, a beautiful Chinese pro golfer, and a celebrity-mad plastic surgeon conspire to convince a wealthy family’s eccentric patriarch to move his manufacturing plants from the U.S. to China.
As the conspiracy clicks into place, the beautiful pro golfer romances the old billionaire across Europe. But their ditzy continent-hopping romp from Paris to Shanghai catches the attention of the black sheep of the family, and he doesn’t like it.
What follows is a brutally funny comedy of grandiose intentions, half-baked revenge, and heroic upper crust foolishness seasoned with a ditzy cross-cultural romance. Introducing the Richest Family in America runs a knee-slapping gauntlet of greed, betrayal and desire as America’s richest family teeters precariously on the edge of dissolution.
