Teilzeit-Umweltschützer und Philanthrop Ben und sein Kumpel Chon, ein ehemaliger Söldner, führen ein Lagunen Hotel, dessen größte Gewinne aus dem regen Verkauf von Marihuana herrühren. Wann immer in der Vergangenheit ihr Revier bedroht wurde, hat sich Chon des Problems angenommen. Doch nun steht das mexikanische Baja Kartell vor der Tür, Männer, die ein Nein nicht hinnehmen und vor nichts zurückschrecken.
Kurzbeschreibung:
A brilliant thriller that pits young, independent marijuana kingpins against a Mexican cartel
Klappentext:
Part-time environmentalist and philanthropist Ben and his ex-mercenary buddy Chon run a Laguna Beach-based marijuana operation, reaping significant profits from their loyal clientele. In the past when their turf was challenged, Chon took care of eliminating the threat. But now they may have come up against something that they can't handle-the Mexican Baja Cartel wants in, sending them the message that a "no" is unacceptable. When they refuse to back down, the cartel escalates its threat, kidnapping Ophelia, the boys' playmate and confidante. O's abduction sets off a dizzying array of ingenious negotiations and gripping plot twists that will captivate readers eager to learn the costs of freedom.
Savages is an adrenaline-fuelled novel by a master thriller writer at the very top of his game.
Rezension:
