Four Days to Veracruz

In Owen West's thriller Four Days to Veracruz, Darren Phillips, a Marine major and presidential aide, honeymoons in Mexico with his new wife, Kate North, a world-class adventure racer. An out-of-bounds kayaking trip lands them on the private beach of a violent drug dealer, and they become fugitives. Unwittingly carrying part of a drug cartel's encrypted communication code, they flee on foot across the Sierra Madre toward Veracruz, pursued by corrupt police, federales and a serial killer known as the Monster Butcher.

Jocko Willink: “We mentioned your son Owen. Um again, he authored a book called The Snake Eaters about his time as an advisor in Iraq... An incredible incredible job that they did. Crazy job, risky job. Uh not glorious job and he wrote about that in his book. He also wrote Sharkman 6 and 4 Days to Veracruz. Some great books.”
