Sonora Run

About the Book

CEO Robert “Griff” Vandergrift’s life—his careful, well-constructed life—is slowly beginning to unravel. His relationship with his fiancée is in the toilet and his trucking company’s financial position is in jeopardy. As Griff and his business partner, Ron Bowman, fly out in a Beech Baron from California to Arizona to meet Bud Applebaum, another shareholder who now owns ten percent of the business, both are deeply concerned about the future of their company. Both, fed up with Bud’s lack of straight answers and outright lies, barely make it to Tucson after their twin-engine airplane succumbs to mysterious mechanical problems. Determined to get to the bottom of their company’s financial mess, Griff and Ron soon discover that Applebaum has been unscrupulous in his business dealings. Suddenly, two middle-aged, honest, and successful business owners unknowingly find themselves in the midst of a drug war waging on the border between Mexico and America, Mafia dealings, and an FBI sting. With their lives in peril, unexpected twists and turns lead Griff and Ron to a surprise ending and a new adventure.
