The Repo

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
