The Vertigo Trust By Jon Canter

Jon Canter

Ronnie Sax is a sixty-something multi-millionaire businessman, abrasive, cocky, and three times divorced but on wife number four. He's egotistical and high energy, yet very much afraid of heights. Living in a bungalow, his very large office is on the ground floor. Branson keeps inviting him into his balloon, but Ronnie always has an excuse.

During an interview with Deborah, a journalist with some serious copy to fill, her searching questions turn into a flirtation that Ronnie feels can only be consummated by conquering his phobia. Enter Martin, a 'Vertigo Counsellor' who has read Deborah's article and thinks he can help. Martin's done his research, and Ronnie, impressed, quickly hires him as his very own counsellor, as long as no one finds out what he's doing in Ronnie's office.

Over a series of sessions, Ronnie becomes attached to Martin and quite dependent on him. Martin helps him overcome his deepest fears, but he has a big secret that threatens to turn Ronnie's world completely upside down.
