Two kids out in the desert are inadvertently captured by bajadores, who steal immigrants bound for the U.S. and extort their families. Elvis investigates and is himself captured after enlisting Joe Pike and Korean gangsters, whose "clients" were abducted. (  ) skipstern | Jul 11, 2021 | Great book by Crais. This is number 15 of the Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. This is a later book in the series so it is really good. The earlier books were good but not this good.

When the police tell a wealthy industrialist that her missing son has faked his own kidnapping, she hires Elvis Cole and Joe Pike-and Cole soon determines that it was no fake. The boy and his secret girlfriend have been taken, and are now lost in the gray and changing world of the professional border kidnappers who prey not only on innocent victims but also on one another-buying, selling, and stealing victims like commodities. Fortunately, the kidnappers don't yet know who the boy is, but when Cole goes undercover to try to buy the two hostages back, he himself is taken and disappears. Now it is up to Pike to retrace Cole's steps, burning through the hard and murderous world of human traffickers ... before it is too late. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Elvis Cole is hired by a distraught mother whose daughter has gone missing. At first it seems a simple case of two crazy kids running off for the weekend until Cole and his friend Joe Pike find evidence that Crista Morales and her boyfriend, M. Jack Burton, have been kidnapped by bajadores. (Bajadores are predators who prey on other predators - kidnapping people sneaking up through the border and using them as a way to make money, then killing those people when the source of funds dries up. Nasty people.)
Soon Elvis himself is in trouble and it's up to Joe Pike and others to not only track down Elvis, the kids and other missing people, but bring down the whole operation in a hale of bullets and blood. Yeah, this is a very bloody book.
Good car reading though. (
