About this listen

Two students’ impossible debt. One outrageous plan.

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 their fortunes.

He’s smart enough to know it is 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 20 years.

Yet Jake hardly even cares.

Because - by then - prison is only Jake’s second biggest problem....

The Desert Run is a refreshingly unusual thriller from Amazon UK and US best-selling author Gregg Dunnett. If you like nail-biting suspense, jaw-dropping twists, and ordinary people facing extraordinary events, then you’ll love this fast-paced listen.

Get The Desert Run today and find out what’s really on Jake’s mind!

Even though I don't condone drug running I couldn't help liking Jake and rooting for him. Believable characters as usual, Gregg Dunnett is good at these, and I was hooked. Narration was good too although some of the time he was a bit too"breathy" describing scenes that had me on the edge of my seat. All in all another great read/listen by Gregg.

A good yarn!
