Run for the Money: An Adventure in Mexico

Action packed third and last novel in the series that includes Death by Design and Lost Art. High-schoolers Adam and Rachel Fuller are swept up in the chase to destroy a Tijuana, Mexico drug and kidnapping ring. In the process, the siblings immerse themselves in saving the world’s oceans. They visit a haunting archeological site in ancient Mexico where they discover the rich cultural history of this complex land. Mr. Anthony Volpini, their science teacher, assists them with technical issues like which Chianti wine is to be preferred and how to identify cocaine in the science lab. Adam is finishing his senior year at Seaside High School in San Diego. He lands a summer job at Mexican-American Freightways, drug-proofing their fleet of trucks by applying science and technology. In the process, Adam is kidnapped and may not escape with his life during a ‘night swim’ to the bottom of the ocean. Rachel’s persistence, artistic skills, theory of the crime and photographic memory bail Adam out and nail the hombres who wreak such havoc. An award winning parent and educator has this to say about Run for the Money: ‘Run for the Money, part mystery and part adventure, follows Adam and Rachel Fuller as they outmaneuver their parents and the Mexican drug cartel. The author’s quest for learning, passion for classic cars and boats, as well as his love of teenagers is clearly evident in this absorbing, fast paced adventure. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy!’ Nancy Hughes, award-winning private school English teacher
