      Flanagan's Flight is the sequel to Peter Cavalier's debut novel, Bank Street. Jerry Flanagan takes us on a nostalgic, humorous and, at times, poignant romp through the 1980s. Some of the pivotal characters from Bank Street return and we are introduced to a new cast of colorful individuals who influence Jerry's life and career. Jerry and Maria are newlyweds in 1978 and are adjusting to married life when the decade of the 1970s closes and gives way to the wild rollercoaster ride of the 1980s. We follow Jerry and Maria as they try to balance work and grad school, switch jobs, and grapple with the angst of buying a home and starting a family. Jerry, having moved to a big-city global bank, initially encounters difficulty adjusting to the changing reality of the banking industry of the 1980s, but eventually settles into a role better suited for himself. His traveling audit assignment ultimately leads him to uncovering the misdeeds of a rogue banker. He encounters turbulence at work and on the home front, and experiences a few close calls during his extensive travels around the country.
