Pure Heroin — Scott Nelson

A huge fan of the works of Alistair MacLean, Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy, I sought to conquer my fear of hypodermic needles and ended up writing two mainstream works of fiction.

Surrounded by many subplots, this second novel in the White Monsoon trilogy follows an everyman character tossed into the vortex of an international maelstrom. Seeking to guarantee the allegiance of a US distribution ring leader, the head of the Libyan terrorists demands that the man turn over his three year old daughter and infant son as collateral for the right to distribute his heroin. The ring leader deceives the terrorist leader using the daughter and son of the everyman character, the protagonist. Through sheer determination, the frightened protagonist learns that his daughter and son have been taken to a very modern prison built on a huge cliff high in the Afghani mountains. WARNING: If Liam Neeson grabbed you with his terrific, heart-pounding performance in TAKEN, then you may not be able to put this drugnothriller down.

They'll be gone for awhile.
