Every life has its price. . . Alex Gilly' s Death Rattle is a timely thriller for fans of Don Winslow' s The BorderWhen Carmen Vega' s boyfriend tries to kill her, she hands over all her savings to a smuggler and sets out from Tijuana in a small, leaky boat. Within sight of the California coast, the boat starts to sink, and its passengers are rescued by border patrol. Soon, Carmen turns up dead in a privately-operated Migrant Detention Center. Neither Nick Finn, the officer who saved Carmen from drowning, nor his wife, human-rights lawyer Mona Jimenez, are satisfied with the prison' s account of what happened to Carmen. Trouble is, the company that runs the prison is on the verge of signing a billion-dollar procurement contract with Homeland Security. And there are people in this world for whom a billion dollars is worth a lot more than one human life. Or even three.
Praise for Death Rattle: "What' s a border noir mystery without vicious drug cartels and desperate illegal migrants? Alex Gilly obligingly provides those joys in Death Rattle which is set in a town on the California-Mexico border laughably named Paradise. "--New York Times Book Review"Impressive. . . . will keep readers turning the pages. Thriller fans will want to see more of Nick. "--Publishers WeeklyPraise for Devil' s Harbor: "You' re there, amidst the action, feeling, hearing, even smelling the tension. This is one of those labyrinths of mystery readers crave. "--Steve Berry "[A] thrill-a-moment first novel. . . The ending is an unexpected nail-bitter that crackles with tension. Readers will look forward to seeing more of Nick. "--Publishers Weekly"Buy it! Recommend it! The writing is exuberant yet controlled, the plot is twisty and devious yet easily tracked, the characters are freshly imagined. . . the revelations are startling. "--Booklist, starred review
