When the bartender flips Frank the keys to her house after telling him she's in trouble, he does a double take but he accepts his good fortune. Little did he know that the good fortune would turn into more drugs and money tempered by a black Labrador named Mollie who likes tennis balls but doesn't fetch.
That's all right with Frank, though. He's too busy trying to get the bartender off the hook for the drugs and the cash she's witnessed her boss and the sheriff stashing in the woman's office. Once Frank gets settled in, he's bound for more trouble than he can handle, but it's not the first time he's dealt with cartel cash and drugs. He's going to need every bit of that experience to keep them all out of trouble, even if he does end up in jail for his trouble.
Peter Duke is a Canadian author. He resides and writes in a small college town in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
Peter Duke's gypsy spirit has taken him to some strange places in the world, but now he's content to limit his adventures to riding a motorcycle and whatever he might encounter when he's on the road. Consequently, he's worked in bike shops doing odd jobs from planning and putting on rides down Mexico way, taking care of computer networking and security, and to picking up and delivering motorcycles from the L.A. basin to Las Vegas, among other things.
He's ridden over a lot of North America at one time or another from Canada to Mexico, and from Atlantic to Pacific. By far his favorite ride is up and down the length of the Baja Peninsula, where the people are friendly, the sun always shines and it’s warm in the winter.
Of everything that he has experienced in his all-too-brief life, Africa is perhaps the greatest enigma. It's an amazing continent, rich in people, nature and resources, yet poor in all of those areas, too.
There are some missing years in there, but he likes to think a little mystery is good for the soul.
