Sailing on a Mexican treasure hunt for buried gold with his two-girl lesbian crew, Bay finds drugs, is attacked by the cartel, and loses all he owns as he’s dumped in the desert and left to die. Rescued by Carlos and his daughter, Consuela, who is lusted after by the hissing evil, Pierre Dante, Bay gets involved in a cartel war. He dodges Baja bullets in an attempt to rescue the girl and get his revenge. "Raw and believable, this first person narrative suggests that Snyder's character Baylor Rumble could perhaps take on the mantle of the late great John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee." - Robert Morton, author of "Death is Another Life".
Started by publishing short stories in men’s magazines; one to Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. First novel, ‘The Surfer Killers’ published as ‘Surfside Sex’ by Neva Paperbacks in early sixties. With Merit and Award books and through promoter Lyle Kenyon Engel, wrote seven Nick Carter spy/adventure screw and kill books. One book, ‘The Defector’ went into three printings and was translated into French and Japanese. And writing as Patrick Morgan, wrote ten spy/thrillers in the Operation Hang Ten series with titles like, ‘Hang Dead Hawaiian Style’(translated into French and Japanese), ‘Cute and Deadly Surf Twins’, ‘Deadly Group Down Under’ ‘Too Many Murders’ etc. As Ray Stanley, wrote ‘The Mini Cult Murders,’ loosely based on Charles Manson. Breaking loose on my own in the late seventies, wrote a sci-fi Romance ‘Beyond Gender Wars,’ eventually published as eBook by Extasy Publishing in 2010. Self-published three books in Baylor Rumble series, ‘Bad Girl Dead,’ ‘Bleeding Sisters,’ ‘Catalina Killers,’ as well as non-fiction book, ‘Making it on Social Security’ and two memoirs, ‘The $900 Honda’ and ‘Roar and Thunder.’ In 2011 connected with BooksForABuck Publishing who published ‘Satin Shorts,’ and 2012 ‘The Crossfire Diamonds.’ Also in 2012 received an award from the Southwestern Writers Conference, Albuquerque in the mystery/detective/thriller category for my crime novel, ‘The Farewell Heist,’ published by BooksForABuck in July 2013. Solstice Publishing brought out the eBook of #4 in the Baylor Rumble crime novel series, ‘Baja Bullets’ and in 2013 the printed version. In 2013 launched my new, Logan Sand hardboiled crime series. The first novel, ‘The Calcutta Dragon’ is complete. Halfway through the second, ‘Plundered Angels.’ And a television media production company is negotiating with my publisher/agent for a film option on ‘Baja Bullets.’ George Snyder freelancer66@earthlink.net Web: www.georgesnydersbooks.com Blog: http://onewriterconnection.blogapot.com Facebook-Twitter-LikedIn-Goodreads
He finds himself temporarily taking on a 2-girl crew aboard his boat and gets talked into looking for sunken treasure. What Bay finds is drugs .... lots of drugs .... and he's in Mexico. He finds himself caught in the middle of a cartel war, his catamaran is stolen by drug runners, he's dumped at sea, and left in the desert to die.
Yep ... Bay Rumble is mad! and he's not the man you want looking at you with anger in his eyes. Bay is a man's man ... he's also a ladies' man. He's one of the most fascinating characters I've read in a long time. I love his whole attitude toward life and I love how macho he is ...although he has a really soft center and seems to be looking for love in all the wrong places.
His adventures are always suspenseful, the surprises come one right after the other. I think I'm a little bit in love with Bay. It's an easy read ... I read it in 2 sittings ... just too hard to put it down.
Many thanks to the author for supplying the book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
