Publisher Description
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

"Pretty dark. Often these woven stories are a bit much for me, but I thought this one was well done. I really enjoyed most of it. The last part of the story left me grasping a little. But it was alright. "

" An interesting book. It details a few days in the lives of 5 people who intersect around LAX. I've spent a lot of time in airports, so it was intriguing. The characters are well drawn, and their thought processes are interesting to follow. It's a melancholy book, however. "

" 3.5 stars. Great novel, enjoyed how the different characters' lives came together. Some outcomes were quite predictable, though not all. Points for having a bisexual character who was not crazy. "
— Meg, 5/22/2011 -
" Starts a bit slow, but it keeps building. "

" Easy to read only a chapter at a time. It has a nice thread of individual stories that all play towards a common theme. "

" A disappointing book. Interesting, well-developed characters, a plot that spiraled together, and then nothing! It led up to what should have been an exciting conclusion, and then just sort of fell flat. "
