THE MEXICO RUN

Mark Johns returns from his tour of duty in Vietnam with a great money-making scheme. He plans to head down to Mexico, score a supply of Acapulco Gold, and re-sell it to a supplier in San Francisco. But to do so, he has to first deal with a crooked Mexican cop named Captain Hernando Morales, a very dangerous man who's got his hand in just about everything. Before he can even get started, Johns rescues a young runaway named Sharon in San Diego, and now he's saddled with the extra responsibility of trying to keep her safe from Morales while working out the logistics of moving a large supply of grass into the States. The first shipment is easy. After that, things go south...

JAILBREAK

Sally Modesto is a prison lifer. But he has a plan to escape. So he pulls Jed, Cotton and Mordecai into it, and tempts the captain of the guard, McVey, into helping them. Modesto has got important connections outside the prison, and through his lawyer, the financial means to pay for his plan. But first they need to get Jed into the warden's office. After that, it's just a matter of finding a helicopter pilot desperate enough to fly into the prison's courtyard. The plan is timed to precision. What they don't figure on is Palmer, the snitch, who rooms with Cotton. Or the warden's pregnant wife, who is lunching with her husband that day. But it's too late now-the plan is set into motion...
