The Last Good Samaritan - Paperback

by Chris Thomas (Author)

An unexpected windfall of found, unreportable cash, can it truly bring happiness? Jack Williams, a good and decent man down on his luck is about to find out. An Ex-Marine sniper, CID investigator, turned Denver Police detective, wrongfully dismissed from the force, is driving over a deserted mountain pass late one night when he witnesses a speeding van missing a hairpin curve and launching out into the darkness beyond. Ever the good and willing Samaritan, Jack stops and races down the steep rocky forested slopes of the pass to try and find the wreck and render help. What he finds changes his life forever. The two occupants, obviously cartel related soldiers to his experienced detective's eye, are transporting neatly packed one hundred and twenty million dollars in dirty drug money, back to a cartel leader in Matamoros Mexico. With his life already so badly altered by recent events and sadness, Jack realizes that he is the only man on earth that knows exactly where this huge sum of unreportable cash is. Can he just keep it? Can he launder it somehow just as the cartels do? Relocated to the Bahamas with the cash, Jack sets out to execute the laundering scheme a lawyer friend has set up for him. Little does Jack know that the cartel leader he has stolen from as intelligence resources Jack could never imagine and is gets closer each day in discovering who Jack is and where he is.
