Tom Norton

A Piece of the Action Tom Norton

The old saying, "One thing leads to another," for the most part is true and usually what it leads to is something worse than the first thing. This is quite true in this story that starts with a billfold found in London, while its owner was fishing in Saskatchewan, Canada. This story involves the Presidents of two countries, the CIA, the FBI, Navies, international players and major oil companies. It tells how they all came together on the same stage by the accidental discovery of oil off the coast of Yucatan, Mexico. Every aspect of involvement in their pursuits was in secrecy to enrich their financial goals or to prevent war and bloodshed. In spite of this, there was some humor along the way.
