KAISER, R.J. — Black Sheep

Toronto, MIRA. 2004, 1st Canadian Edition. (ISBN: 0778320677) Pbk. Book, Jonas Lamb is a lost sheep. He's always taken risks and played life's games by his own rules. Now, after a trail of broken marriages and an endless roller-coaster ride from fortune to bankruptcy and back again, Jonas has one last chance to turn his life around. His greatest regret is that he never had much of a relationship with his son. But now Patrick is back in Jonas's life. A genetic engineer, his son comes to him with news of a groundbreaking discovery -- code-named Black Sheep in honor of Jonas -- that could revolutionize energy markets, putting oil companies out of business and turning the world economy on its head. All Patrick needs is his father's help in finding financial backing. Jonas sees the opportunity of a lifetime. If he plays his cards right, he can redeem himself with his child, win the heart of Patrick's mother -- the only woman he has truly loved -- and become one of the wealthiest men on earth. As New.
