Book Description

Thieves find any and every reason to justify theft. You name it, and it's already been pulled... But you already knew that. During the Viet Nam War the twenty million dollar military payroll on Okinawa was paid in small, unmarked bills, yet delivered from base to base on a single helicopter. On payday, everyone waited for the flight called The Money Run. You probably didn't know that. In 1971, helicopter pilot Captain JACK HIGGINS, stationed in Vietnam, flew stateside as a funeral escort for his fallen Marine Corps brother. The official cause of death was from enemy fire, but the actual cause was selective scheduling. The perpetrator, Lt.Col. FRED BEDFORD has so far eliminated four Marine brothers. With only three left, Jack vows revenge against Bedford, the military, and their treatment back home. He's going to execute the biggest heist in military history, the 20 million dollar payroll on Okinawa. Jack is assigned to the money run, the helicopter, carrying all of the small, unmarked bills. His brothers, with motives of their own, join forces with him. All is well with the plan until he meets Air Force Captain, ELLEN STEVENS, and falls in love. Now he's torn. Can he take the money and still keep Ellen? He has eight weeks to figure it out. The clock is ticking, and The Money Run is waiting.
