Publisher's summary

Henry "Hank" Thompson's got a good thing going - a hut on a quiet Mexican beach, morning swims, a nice breakfast place a few miles down shore…until a backpacker with a Russian accent shows up and starts asking questions about his past. Questions Hank doesn't want to deal with. And then the backpacker mentions the money…and Hank's parents. So Hank makes a fateful move…because no one threatens Hank's family. Now Thompson is on the run - dodging federales and Russian mobsters, sneaking past the US Border Patrol, negotiating with nefarious businessmen, and trying desperately to avoid dying at the hands of two hell-bent surfer bums who fancy themselves his allies. The result is a full-throttle thriller, a cinematic adventure full of booze, bullets, loyalty, and love.

Who is the little known author?

I listen to at least 3 audiobooks a month. Member of audible.com. Behavioral Psychology UC Santa Barbara. 22 years cut my teeth on the California State Hospital system, the Veterans Administration. Ex USAF, Wounded Warrior. Retired. Point is, I’m a very critical critic. Logic based. Charlie Huston makes an enthralling story with no logical mistakes. I’m a huge John Grisham, Michael Colleens, David Baldacci, Mark Dawson & Mark Greanly, (who co-authored with the famous Tom Clancy), prior to Clancy’’s death. Google the guys if you love fantastic journeys into fiction. Maybe I’ve shared too many of Henry’s experiences. I was an ex- patriot, AirAmerica overseas in the Air Force. A wet boy as they called me. Please give this a read or listen. Guarantee you’ll throughly enjoy the ride.

Fantastic!

The story started building momentum right away and never slowed down. The narrator was excellent. His command of accents and ability to voice multiple characters is very strong. I was very entertained with this book!

Crime fiction fan? This one doesn't miss!

Tight, funny, bleak modern noir. Conn's read is perfect for this book - wise cracking and fatalistic at the same time. New Huston fan over here.

fun

The plot is rather plain. But, the great characters and excellent dialogue and prose make it a really fun book.

Solid middle part of trilogy

Can't wait to finish this trilogy. Great narrator, plenty of action and poignant prose and insight. Highly recommended.

I loved this book!

It took a little bit to settle in but it hooked me. Loved the first person narrative.

Heaps of profanity and violence.

Quirky story I quit for several days 2/3 through. I guess I needed a break. Curiosity won out and I finished. Most of the characters are not likeable, but ending is perfect.

Dude totally cool.

Quentin Tarantino could do something with this. Fast paced, with some crazy characters. The narrator does a fantastic job.
