Summary
Palm Springs, 1973. Don Harris is a piano player on the run after killing a Chicago mobster's son in a bar fight. On the lam, he meets a pretty blonde girl in town for a convention. He lets down his guard and spends the night with her only to discover she's the younger sister of his best friend all grown-up. Foolishly, she tips her brother off to Don's location, and he's on the run again, hoping to find a safe place to land.
Out of money and desperate, Don accidentally walks into a gay bar where he allows a kid named Harlan to pick him up so he'll have a place to stay. As the mob chases them, Don begins to fall for the kid, putting them both in harm's way. Harlan has problems of his own, and Don knows he shouldn't get involved but he can't help but step in when Harlan gets in trouble. To save himself, Don's got to save Harlan.

Desert Run
An enjoyable adventure/thriller about a Vietnam veteran on the run from a Chicago mob boss in Palm Springs.
It has all the ingredients you want in a good thriller, a fast pace, action, hitmen and a love interest.
Hunter Elliott is a new narrator to me and I have to say he was excellent.
He brought each and every character to life, I hope to hear more from him in the future.

Cue the action
A well written story with a great narrator.
I love how Marshall Thornton quickly brings you into a story.
The period setting made for a historical reflection on LGBTQ rights.
There was everything action, romance, humour and many forms of friendship and a fitting ending.
I will be looking out for the narrator Hunter Elliott again
