Unfortunately, the easy assignment becomes a race in which Jack and Amber must find killers before they become victims.

Roger grew up in Minot, North Dakota. In 1974 Roger began his studies at the University North Dakota School of Law. After graduation Roger clerked for a United States District Judge. Thereafter, he entered private practice. The long legal career added to his life experiences by exposing Roger to a variety of “dramas” in both the criminal and civil settings. Roger developed the art of storytelling over the years as he wrote legal briefs and presented oral arguments. The first Jack Fields and Amber Reyes adventure GOLDPLAYwas published in 2013. The adventure continues in VEYRON. Roger is currently working on Jack and Amber’s third adventure, as well as two science fiction novels.
I received a free copy of VEYRON through Goodreads First Reads. Although the story keep me reading through to the end, it didn't reel me in like the books I like best do. I haven't entirely figured out why this is the case, although I think one of the problems was the bare bones prose that lacked in-depth descriptions of local color I enjoy. I also found some aspects of the story unrealistic. Such an event would have been unlikely to be allowed in a national park, for example, but would likely have had someone following along by either helicopter or at least a highway vehicle escort.
Was an interesting read, but I think it would have helped if I would have read GOLDPLAY first. So, with that said I would recommend VEYRON to everyone who has or will be reading GOLDPLAY. So that someone else can enjoy this I will be paying it forward as I do with most my GoodReads win and give this to a friend to enjoy.
This is the sequel to the book by author Roger Scouton: Goldplay. It was an enjoyable easy read. The book is about Jack Fields and Amber Reyes as they are hired to observe the security measures taken for a road rally. Sounds simple right? Wrong! Things quickly escalate as Jack and Amber find themselves fighting for their lives in a quest to find the killers.
