In Desperation (2011)
“Gannon was positioned in the rear seat, between the large man and the man with a gun. Another man sat up front with the driver.
No one spoke.
They had to be Lomax’s people. Be calm. He inhaled and tried to control his breathing. Think, Gannon told himself. Is there anything you can do here?
The large man was rough as he patted Gannon for a weapon. Then he took Gannon’s BlackBerry and wallet and passed them to the guy in the front passenger seat. He studied Gannon’s ID, made a call and spoke in ...muted tones.
Gannon felt the highway clicking under them as they traveled beyond the city, then turned onto a secondary road, then turned again onto a back road. Fewer and fewer buildings dotted the landscape. Before long, the area had grown desolate. The SUV jiggled when they turned off the road and cut across the desert, coming to a ridge that descended into a low valley that looked like a dried river-bed.
They stopped and jerked Gannon out of the SUV.
The heat was intense as they led him several feet away.MoreLess
