The Body Market — D.V. Berkom

A retired assassin is called in when a celebration south of the border turns into a nightmare.

Everything's for sale...

Former assassin Leine Basso is hired by a wealthy Beverly Hills power couple to find their missing daughter, Elise, last seen partying with her boyfriend at a club in Tijuana. At first, police believe the two teenagers are the victims of a carjacking. But when Leine finds their missing vehicle with the boyfriend's mutilated body inside, and the local cartel warns her away, she knows if Elise isn't already dead, she will be soon, or worse.

In the lethal world of organized crime, there's always a worse.

As Leine races to uncover the reason behind Elise Bennett's disappearance, she must also battle the powerful interests fighting to keep her from the truth.

"...this one sets the standard for adventure thrillers, and is in my humble view, the best yet. Biting dialogue and gritty descriptions are hallmarks of Berkom's fiction, and she writes action scenes that are as brilliant as freshly spilt blood." Charles Ray, reviewer
