Drugs, bullets, hired assassins, and in short, a highly volatile recipe for the thrills and spills connected to drugs. This is an absolutely riveting story that is guaranteed to keep the reader's interest at the highest level from start to finish. What begins as a normal day on the ranch turns out to be anything but normal, and is soon found to be only the start of a roller coaster action ride with many sprees and escapades.

David Griffith has honed his storytelling skills to the point where readers are given a front-row seat to this adventure and are made to feel like they are a part of the action in The Fugitive. This is the fifth book in this series, with the hero in this story being a former investigator into drug rings. He assumed that he had left that deadly past for good, but seems to have been very badly mistaken. His past simply reached out to him one more time, when a previously encountered drug lord decided that this former adversary should be disposed of, and set one of his hit-men on his trail. Thus began the start of a tracking down and elimination process that proved to be more than the hired assassin bargained for, and our hero was dragged back into his dark past, much against his will, and was forced to endure another bumpy ride, which will keep the reader’s interest going right up to the end.

This novel captures the essence of what the world of drugs looks like and provides a taste of what it would be like to live in such an environment. I cannot find any negative aspects to it, and I see no reason to not award it the highest rating possible.

The rating I give this book is 4 out of 4 stars. I feel that this is the only rating that will do justice to a book that has been written with passion and feeling that is conveyed to the reader in such a realistic manner. Any reader that picks this up is sure to find that this is the only rating that will do justice to this book.

Readers of action based adventure stories should find that this is the kind of story that gets their adrenalin flowing, and this may be easily recommended to such an audience. It would also be useful for anyone with a special interest in drugs and the secretive networks that function in this dreaded but lucrative field to get a feel of what it would be really like at the deep end.
