OMG, I couldn’t believe it was possible, but the description is actually worse than the covers. And it’s not “random imagery”, everything on the cover is actually in the book! Incredible. And the pigeons smuggle drugs. I have to wonder, though, how many runs a pigeon needs to make to transfer a kilo of drugs? Maybe they’re some kind of giant mutant pigeons.
Well, not pigeons by themselves, but a dirty cop uses them to smuggle drugs. I suspect the money he payed for all those pigeons would be much greater than any money he could make smugling drugs with them.

“Max Quill and son Max are police officers at Darwin in the Northern Territory, Australia. They both race pigeons as an addictive hobby. Max runs pigeon and crocodile tours, plus a prawn trawler on the side. Max trains his pigeons to fly laden with gems and drugs from his boat to the mainland. … Max’s wife Paloma hails from Indonesia …”
I guess you have to buy it to know which Max does what and is married to Paloma?

#1 good idea: two protagonists with the same name because that’s clever, not confusing.
#2 good idea: let’s pretend pigeons can carry enough drug far enough to make us rich. After all, swallows can carry coconuts. (…Anyone?)
#3 good idea: Let’s cut and paste images for ALL out plot points and scatter them on a black background, even if they look like crap together and there is no coherent design.
#4 good idea: Let’s go buy something with all the money we are going to rake in! (Okay – that one is conjecture, based on the obvious lack of experience displayed.)
