Apie šią el. knygą
When a new job falls his way, Chance jumps at the opportunity, becoming a runner who picks up strange packages on a daily route and delivers them to a shady man at the marina. Chase knows how much he will earn—what he doesn’t know is how much he will pay.

- A Timely Terrorism Plot: When the contents of the packages point to something far more sinister than drugs, Chance must confront questions of patriotism and courage that have no easy answers.
