The Catch

Annie is married to a big-time marijuana smuggler, Kurt. A former drug user herself, they now have two small children and have etched out a life for themselves in upstate New York. She wants him to quit the business, but he is addicted to the adventure. This is big-time stuff, 10 tons or more, and the risks are high. The law is after him and the penalty is life imprisonment without parole. The plot moved swiftly and caught me up in the drama of their lives. If I have any criticism, it is that there are a few too many loving family scenes, but perhaps this was necessary given the nature of the situation. After all, this book actually humanizes drug dealers.
