A down-on-his-luck ex-DEA agent tries to find a missing yacht—and the rich couple who were aboard it: &“The action is explosive. . . . An excellent series debut.&” —Booklist Ex-DEA agent Jack Merchant is living out his precarious retirement on the docks of Charlestown, Mass., surrounded by the revenge-minded dealers and punks he used to put away. All he&’s got is his sloop, Lila, but soon enough he gets a visit from the repo man. Except the repo man&’s a woman, Sarah Ballard. Her proposition: They&’ve got a week to track down a rich couple who&’ve disappeared with their yacht. Find it, and Merchant can keep his boat. The trouble is, they&’re not the only ones looking . . . A dark tale with enough kinks and twists to keep you guessing to the last page, The Repo is the first book in the &“powerful new series&” of crime thrillers (Publishers Weekly). &“[Eidson&’s] dialogue has the ring of overheard conversation, and we feel the breeze and smell the sea air as his characters pursue their prey.&” —The Boston Globe &“The boat&’s disappearance and the demons from the past that possess both detectives merge beautifully, creating a convincing landscape of deception and self-doubt.&” —The Washington Post &“Eidson makes [Sarah Ballard&’s] toughness and coldness inevitable and convincing. There are also some unusually interesting minor players and assorted villains, as well as several original and violent moments of action, many at sea.&” —Chicago Tribune
