Apache Dunes

A drug deal in the Arizona Desert between a Mexican cartel and a Latin street gang from Chicago goes horribly wrong. Dead bodies are everywhere and more than $30 million is missing. Four local teenagers, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, become prime targets for the cartel’s missing funds. The quest to find the money will eventually ensnare bent federal agents; some lovable, but bumbling mobsters; a burned-out Chicago gang crimes detective; a Mexican hit man and three stunning, but lost souls who have a habit of looking for love in all the wrong places. The lightning-fast action takes the reader to Chicago, Las Vegas, Key West, Acapulco, Switzerland, but always back to the Dunes. If you want action, dialogue and more than a few belly laughs along the way, this is the book for you. Put Get Shorty and Breaking Bad in a blender-add in the most memorable cast of characters since It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and welcome to Apache Dunes! The reader could easily imagine this story becoming a major motion picture or television drama. -Barry Berg, Los Angeles, Ca.
