A Vacation of Violence

By: Jimmy Ray Conner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When justice collides with vengeance, the desert becomes the ultimate battlefield.

Heart-stopping. Unrelenting. Impossible to put down.

When justice meets vengeance, survival is the only law.

A cartel’s desert. A cop’s revenge. A fight to survive.

Homicide detective Chris Taylor and his attorney wife, Kate, are finally taking a break—two weeks of golf, sunshine, and luxury in Southern California. But their idyllic getaway turns into a nightmare when Kate and her teenage friend Melody are violently kidnapped in broad daylight by a ruthless gang of human traffickers working for the infamous Sinaloa Cartel.

As the cartel prepares to sell the women deep in Mexico’s criminal underworld, Chris joins forces with Melody’s father and a disillusioned ex-DEA agent on a desperate mission south of the border. With the covert backing of U.S. Homeland Security, the men secretly arm and train a small group of local villagers brave enough to defy the cartel’s iron rule.

When the rescue finally comes, it’s explosive. But their escape is only the beginning.

Fleeing through the scorching Sonoran Desert, the team must cross 150 miles of deadly terrain—without roads, supplies, or rest. Pursued by dozens of vengeful cartel gunmen and stalked by venomous wildlife, their only hope lies in their will to survive. And when a massive hurricane barrels toward them, the desert itself becomes their deadliest enemy.

Will Chris and Kate make it out alive? Or will justice in the desert demand the ultimate price?

“Justice in the Desert” is an adrenaline-fueled thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night. Readers of Lee Child, David Baldacci, and Jack Carr will devour this powerful story of courage, love, and unrelenting pursuit against impossible odds.
