Description de l’éditeur
Maverick agent Valentine Pescatore is back and investigating a brutal killing that leads him across borders and reveals a vast conspiracy of wealth and power terrifyingly close to home.
Valentine Pescatore, the former U.S. agent, finds himself back on American soil, investigating the merciless killing of a group of women in a motel room. At first, the crime seems to be a straightforward case of gangsters battling for territory. Soon, however, the motive is revealed to be much deeper and more sinister: a single witness who knows too much is being hunted.
From an author who has been praised for his "pounding action scenes [and] ferocious prose style" (Marilyn Stasio, NYTBR), RIP CREW races at breakneck speed as Pescatore finds himself face-to-face with his most terrifying assignment yet.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Leo M ndez, the former chief of the Diogenes Group police unit in Tijuana, Mexico, is now a journalist living in San Diego, Calif., in Rotella's strong third series thriller (after 2014's The Convert's Song). When M ndez's old boss in Mexico asks for his help exposing the Blake Acquisitions Group, a U.S. firm that's apparently in cahoots with Mexican narcopoliticians, he agrees to do so. Meanwhile, M ndez's old PI friend, Valentine Pescatore, wants M ndez's help investigating the murders of 10 women shot execution-style in a Tecate motel. The horrific crime is assumed to have been perpetrated by an unknown "rip crew," a gang that specializes in ripping off drug smugglers. M ndez and Pescatore's investigations merge, and both men fight off several assassination attempts. Rotella writes convincingly about the realities and mechanics of investigative journalism, and his detailed action scenes add just enough mayhem to keep thriller readers on the edge of their seats.
