Jake is just out of university and right out of cash. His former classmates are off on adventures or getting on with their lives, while he's stuck in a dead end job and can't get a break. Until his best friend comes up with a plan to reverse both their fortunes.
He's smart enough to know its madness. But then - he's also smart enough to calculate the odds of getting caught. And just how much money they'll make if they don't. The harder Jake tries to dismiss the idea, the more the pieces fall into place.
Until one day he finds himself queuing at the border while armed customs officers search their van - packed with enough dope to put the boys away for twenty years.
Yet Jake hardly even cares.
Because - by then - prison is only Jake's second biggest problem...

I've enjoyed other books by the author so expected to enjoy The Desert Run. The plot is a bit different than the author's other titles so it took a few chapters for me to settle into the story. I really enjoyed this. It's a pretty standard thriller but the plot is different from the books I usually read so it was quite refreshing. This is fast-paced and engaging. I'd recommend this.
