About the Book
Perfect Plan is a fast paced realistic adventure by Brett Diffley that encompasses human trafficking, major oil spill cleanup, and the plight of endangered animals. It’s also a rollercoaster ride from start to finish, as good battles evil and heroes emerge from the most unlikely of places.
Reed Davenport is a board member of family owned Crude Technologies, the world’s foremost company in oil spill cleanup with three fleets around the globe. He lives to make a difference, and is always trying to find a balance between man and nature, while fighting for both. But that balance can be hard to find when splitting his life between the oil spill giant and his sanctuary, created for threatened and misunderstood animals.
While pursuing the poachers that invaded his sanctuary, he learns a hurricane is ravaging the Atlantic, and the oil tanker Charleston is almost cut in two by the freighter San Paulo when they collided. The tanker carries 120 million gallons of crude and a full crew. Reed’s family - his father John Davenport, sister Sarah, and brother James (also a customs agent) - is thrust into a race against time to save the crews, and limit the environmental disaster as both vessels struggle to stay afloat. But this is nothing compared to what Reed sees while hovering over the sinking freighter, as he watches a man desperately stretch his physical excursion to the extreme limits to rescue children that were strewn across the canted deck from a container chained to the open deck. And as the tragedy unfolds, Reed quickly joins forces in a harrowing and life threatening rescue to save as many as possible before the freighter threatens to take all its secrets to the bottom.
It also puts him on a quest to find answers when he learns the children were part of a sophisticated human trafficking ring. And the more he learns, the more determined he becomes to stop those responsible. But this evil turns out to be far more reaching than he’d ever thought possible, with tentacles spread throughout the globe. And as he moves in on the monster responsible, it also reveals a hidden truth about his own family.
