Deadman's Bust, by Cory Marchese--Selected Excerpts

Deadman’s Bust takes readers on a wild ride from the laidback pot-growing counterculture of Humboldt County and into the harsh world of drug traffickers, Colombian cartels, and corrupt DEA agents.

When Mike and his brother John’s growing operation is violently busted by the Feds, John is hauled away while Mike, hiding under the house, escapes. Later, when he tries to make sense of the bust, he finds that things don’t add up. Although looking like DEA agents, the men sounded more like thieves. And where have they taken John?

Mike’s determination to save his brother leads him through unfamiliar and violent territory on a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns.
