Dead Game A John Marquez Crime Novel

Named one of the top ten crime novels of 2005 by the American Library Association, "Deadgame" marks the return of "far and away the most inventive new detective hero" ("Booklist"). Ex-DEA agent John Marquez, now head of the undercover unit of the California Department of Fish and Game, is closing in on sturgeon poachers, whose highly profitable caviar trade is backed by the Russian mafia. When his key confidential informant disappears, Marquez follows the trail directly into the middle of a deadly FBI operation and a web of conflicting loyalties. Newly released in paperback, this fast-paced, compelling, and vivid ecothriller pushes the tough-but-sensitive Marquez to the limit.Russell, Kirk is the author of 'Dead Game A John Marquez Crime Novel', published 2007 under ISBN 9780811859356 and ISBN 0811859355.
