Title: Marilyn
Publisher: Independently Published (2020)
Genre: Thriller
A childhood of abuse and a straight razor solution have landed Marilyn in a dead-end job as a waitress at a short order diner on El Paso’s south side within sight of the border with Juarez. Scarred from the long-ago abuse, she is content to wait tables and walk home at the end of her shift to her one room rental. She sees no change in her circumstances until the diner’s dishwasher Poncy hits her up with a proposal at the request of Xavier, his drug lord cousin from Juarez: Ride along as a drug mule on a heroin delivery that will take her from the south side of El Paso to Key West. The money is big, the work is easy, and a GPS will point the way. All she has to do is ride. Marilyn and Poncy soon find themselves betrayed and pursued by a past-his-prime Texas Ranger, Columbian assassins, Texas rednecks, and a Juarez hitman. It all seems hopeless until Marilyn and her razor take control.
