Cross Currents
In a world where money, sex, and power are primary goals, Powell Smily’s protagonist Mike Vaughn can’t see much purpose to the drives of those successful people for whom he works. Those he calls his friends, therefore, are often unfortunates who find themselves pawns in the games of manipulation and dominance that are really running the show. Cross Currents, a neo-noir novel, is literate, well plotted, entertaining, and enlightening., and just as relevant today as it was when it was written 40 years ago.
Powell Smily, 1909-1981, was a World War II veteran and a well-known Canadian journalist, radio broadcaster and author. As a freelance public relations consultant and fundraiser, he wrote for just about every publication in Canada, and many in the U.S. and the UK. He did frequent broadcasts on the CBC national network and International Service. Cross Currents was his only novel.

Okay read
It was a bit wordy. The plot had many twists and turns. It was not altogether awful. Not terrific either.
