The Last Good Samaritan by Chris Thomas
An unexpected windfall of found, unreportable cash, can it truly bring happiness? Jack Williams, a good and decent man down on his luck is about to find out. An Ex-Marine sniper, CID investigator, turned Denver Police detective, wrongfully dismissed from the force, is driving over a deserted mountain pass late one night when he witnesses a speeding van missing a hairpin curve and launching out into the darkness beyond. Ever the good and willing Samaritan, Jack stops and races down the steep rocky forested slopes of the pass to try and find the wreck and render help. What he finds changes his life forever. The two occupants, obviously cartel related soldiers to his experienced detective's eye, are transporting neatly packed one hundred and twenty million dollars in dirty drug money, back to a cartel leader in Matamoros Mexico. With his life already so badly altered by recent events and sadness, Jack realizes that he is the only man on earth that knows exactly where this huge sum of unreportable cash is. Can he just keep it? Can he launder it somehow just as the cartels do? Relocated to the Bahamas with the cash, Jack sets out to execute the laundering scheme a lawyer friend has set up for him. Little does Jack know that the cartel leader he has stolen from as intelligence resources Jack could never imagine and is gets closer each day in discovering who Jack is and where he is.
Chris Thomas was born near London in 1978 before moving to Buckinghamshire a few months later. He attended the University of Bristol, graduating with a degree in psychology in 1999. It was here that he developed his interest in criminal psychology and serial killers. After a brief stint working at an investment bank in London, he left the City to work for his wife's family business, a position he still holds. Chris is an avid film fan, especially horror, thrillers and dark comedy- something that he tries to blend in his writing. After attending a creative writing course, he gained the confidence to pursue his dream of writing a novel. He self-published his debut novel The Red Room in February 2017 before joining the Bloodhound Books stable and re-releasing the book as Enter The Dark. Further works are already in the planning, including a sequel to Enter The Dark, which is intended to be even more dark and disturbing! In his spare time, Chris enjoys karate (holding a black belt) and spending time with his wife and two young daughters.
