Dutch Island - Tapa blanda

A Parkinson's patient and his wife get swept into a life-and-death struggle over a small, strategically important island off the New England coast. Heirs to an eighteenth century land deed, the couple jeopardizes plans by a wealthy anti-American oil baron to build a megasized mosque on the island. The husband and wife join forces with New Jersey's Rick Bullock and a band of his eccentric sidekicks in an adventure laced with murder, mystery and hilarity. Anchored to historical facts, Dutch Island is both a fast-paced thriller and a remarkable testimonial to Parkinson's disease patients and their families.

Former Johnson & Johnson vice president Curt Weeden blends fiction with history and medical reality in his fifth book, Dutch Island. The novel is a tribute to his brother -- who has battled Parkinson's disease for over 30 years -- and sister-in-law, an extraordinary caretaker. Weeden is founder of the Association of Corporate Contributions Professionals and consults with many of America's largest corporations and nonprofit organizations.
