Cocaine Run

This book bears Jerry Ahern's name, however he wasn't the actual author. I know this for two reasons. First, having read the book, it was clear from the writing that Ahern didn't write a word of it, and second, I remember reading somewhere a few years back that Ahern himself had claimed he didn't write this book, nor did he know who had. So how did this secret ghostwriter for hire do with Cocaine Run? Aside from some small issues, and the weird title, as the story had nothing to do with cocaine, the anonymous writer wasn't too bad. At first I was not sure if I was going to like it, but eventually I was drawn into the action and plot, and it turned out to be an entertaining read. The usual cast of side characters were for the most part missing from this title, while I was a little disappointed with that, I guess a little break from that, and focusing more on Track was acceptable. Going on a mission somewhere in Central America to rescue a kidnapped Senator's daughter, Track has an adventure to get to the girl, then afterward things turn strange as he discovers that this woman is batshit crazy. Meanwhile a cast of villains with varying allegiances surround the story, and Track has gunmen on his trail all the way. Plenty of action and a surprise character from earlier in the series get involved, and things wrap up with a decent conclusion. Worth the read after all.
