Detour

by James Siegel · 2005

+ Want to read

From the author of "Derailed" comes the adrenaline-charged story of one man who is forced to transport cocaine from Colombia to a location within the U.S. within 18 hours, or his wife and newly adopted daughter will be killed. The decision seems obvious—yet the outcome will be anything but.
