Saving Laura

Description

"Aspen, Colorado, 1979. Twenty-one-year-old Lee Shelby robs the town's most notorious cocaine dealer, Tom Tucker, fleeing the scene with five kilos of Peruvian flake and $75,000. Shelby escapes to the sagebrush hills of southwestern Wyoming, hoping to disappear into the wilderness until after the furor dies down. Then he plans to return and wrest his old girlfriend, Laura, from Tucker's clutches. Shelby's half-baked scheme goes awry when a chance encounter with a teenage Bonnie and Clyde implicates him in a roadside shootout with the highway patrol. Shelby evades local and state police, returning to Aspen only weeks after the robbery. He quickly reunites with Laura, on the run herself after surviving a brutal assault at the hands of Tucker who has determined her old beau is behind his recent loss. Shelby's simple plan is complicated by an unscrupulous DEA agent, Clyde Blackwood, who is willing to sacrifice Laura to make his case. In the inevitable showdown, can Shelby outwit Tucker and Blackwood, who both underestimate him and his love for Laura?" -- from author's web page.
