Hank Thompson has a good life.  He doesn't have too much to worry about except the problem with his narrow ear canals, which tend to clog up after a swim.  He lives in a hut on a Mexican beach. 

When a backpacker with a Russian accent began asking questions, Hank's life began to change.  Why you ask?  Well, apparently Hank was holding millions of dollars stolen by the Russian mafia.  Hank managed to get rid of the Russian but soon discovered two federales were on his back. 

When the Russian backpacker mentioned the money and the family he left behind, Hank knew he had to go home.  He had to get to his parents before anyone harmed them. 

Along the way, Hank faces several obstacles such as the Federales, the U.S. Border Patrol and several others.

Does Hank succeed in making it home in time?

Charlie Huston takes the reader on one wild ride as Hank begins his journey home.  This book is a real thriller with an adventurous plot.  The characters appear to be real.  The best part is that in addition to all of this, the author has managed to incorporate a good deal of comedy in the story.  Be sure to add this one to your list.  It is highly recommended.
