OverviewMaverick agent Valentine Pescatore investigates a brutal killing that leads him across borders and reveals a vast conspiracy of wealth and power terrifyingly close to home. Valentine Pescatore, the dashing ex-US Border Patrol 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, at any cost. From an author who has been praised in the New York Times Book Review for his pounding action scenes [and] ferocious prose style, Rip Crew races at breakneck speed as Pescatore finds himself face-to-face with his most terrifying assignment yet.
