The Desert Run

Jake is doing everything he can to lead a normal life. But normality doesn’t seem that interested. And while Jake fails to land a decent job, his student debt just grows and grows.

His best friend Ben has a simple, if technically illegal, solution. Together they’ll drive to the Atlas Mountains and fill Ben’s van with cheap, high-quality dope. Assuming they get past two international borders and find someone to buy the gear, they’ll clear their debts. They can start their professional lives with a clean slate. And a gap-year adventure-story the grandkids will never believe.

But if Jake and Ben think normal life is hard to crack, they’ve certainly underestimated international drug smuggling.

Tense, gripping, and with some stunning twists, The Desert Run is an exciting thriller that gives in to the irresistible call of adventure.

After all. One little crime doesn’t make you a criminal. Does it?

Gregg Dunnett’s first book ‘The Wave at Hanging Rock’ was downloaded a quarter of a million times and nominated for the Chanticleer best thriller of 2016. ‘The Desert Run’ is his second novel.
