| Format: Hardcover, 304pp. ISBN: 031229025X Publisher: St. Martin's Press Pub. Date: September 2002 Edition Desc: 1ST "On a beautiful foggy evening, marine corporal Palmer stands at the end of a pier, staring out over the ocean, waiting to meet his girlfriend, Suzanne. Instead of meeting Suzanne, however, Palmer encounters Staff Sergeant Harry Wilde, who gives Palmer a stark choice: help Wilde's criminal activities or be railroaded to jail on false drug possession charges." With Suzanne's help, Palmer flees to Mexico. Seven years later, ex-sergeant Wilde is a rich drug dealer and gunrunner, trading stolen marine guns for the deadly synthetic heroin, fetanyl. The murder of the "mule" who brings the drug over the border leaves Wilde badly in need of a new courier. Fate delivers one in an encounter with Palmer in the small Mexican town of Wilde's supplier. Wilde holds all the cards and Palmer is desperate. Desperation, however, doesn't make Palmer as easy to control as Wilde thinks. |
