GO-AROUND

GO-AROUNDHarry Delaney is living the good life. He’s flying the airplane he loves. He’s able to spend time with his family on a regular basis. When he closes the hangar door at the end of the day and comes home, his wife and daughter are happy to see him. It’s taken him a long time to get to that, but it’s all good now.

It’s all good, that is, until two men from his past on the African continent show up at his front door. They come bearing tales of a scheme that could take Harry back to a time he and his business partner Mike Williams want to forget.

Despite his better judgement, Harry wants to say yes to the plan, but it would mean upending everything he has worked for. When Sasha, his wife, overhears their visitors’ crazy proposal and that Harry is considering it, she puts her foot down. In fact, she puts both feet down. They all go, or nobody goes.

That’s all right with Harry, because he thinks his family would like to visit some of Africa’s big game parks. Unfortunately for Harry, his wife, Sasha, has other ideas.

Third in the series after DEAD RECKONING and UNCHARTED.

Lobo

Jim Nash is back down Mexico way, and he’s not happy about it. That could be because he’s helping a friend track down a cold-blooded killer who also happens to be the woman’s daughter. It might be because he’s KOS-Kill On Sight-thanks to a narrow escape from cartel sicarios a number of years ago. Or, it might be because he’s dipped his fingers once again in stolen cartel cash, and he’s anxious to get home.

Whatever the reason, he’s finding himself knee-deep in bullets, bandits, and bodies, and he’s only just crossed la frontera.

When his ride breaks down 70 miles north of the Mexican border, he’s forced to take refuge in a Salton Sea ghost town. A friendly resident introduces Frank to some welcome home cooking and a place to stay. It quickly turns into old-fashioned loving.

When Kailey, his hostess, takes exception to Frank’s discovery of five keys of cartel coca stashed in her bedroom closet, she aims a loaded gun at his pack and pulls back the hammer. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Frank knows he has to hit the road, fast.

No fool to the vagaries of women, Frank hits the road with Tammi, a reformed pole dancer, riding bitch on the back of his ride. They’re headed for El Lay and the strip club circuit. Frank doesn’t know it, but he’s hell-bound for more trouble.

Jim Nash is off the reservation, in more ways than one. His partner doesn’t know where he is, and for good reason. If she found out, she’d kill him if she got the chance, and he isn’t about to give her that chance—yet.

The plan was to make a quick trip down the Baja, retrieve something stored away for a future life, and return. To improve his odds, he picked up an armored van and a go-fast panga. An underage teen-age stowaway isn’t improving his outlook. She’s a distraction he doesn’t need, and looking out for her is challenging his patience. He has a plan to bring her into line, though, and it includes a one-way plane ticket.

Will any of Jim’s plans come to fruition? He doesn’t know, because unseen problems are on the horizon and will soon be demanding all of his attention. And he still has to get himself a thousand miles north to safety and another thousand to home. The quick trip is taking a lot longer than he thought it would.
