J J Byrnes In for a Pound

Annotation

Samantha Leach is a successful young dope dealer on the rise. A few more years and she will be on top of the game. But when a close friend is kidnapped up in the tribal Badlands of northern Thailand, Sam has a big decision to make. Her money or her friend? Luckily, Sam is an all or nothing sort of girl. She recruits a hardened veteran throwing the dice on one last chance at redemption and they set sail on a rescue mission through the Malacca Straits, into Burma and up into the Golden Triangle. When they escape a hilltop paddy fortress with a lot more than they bargained for, Sam is soon out of her depth, out of control and on a headlong dash back to the top end of Australia and a reckoning that she just doesn't see coming.In for a Pound is an action/adventure/crime story involving three main protagonists.
