Repo by Bill Eidson 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, the 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 spoiled rich couple who've disappeared with their yacht. Find it, and Merchant can keep the Lila. The trouble is, they're not the only ones looking... While I enjoyed the relationship between Jack & Sarah, I found the actual plot not so plausable and more violent than I like. S & M, embezzlement, while I'm sure is prevelent I just don't want to read about it. I don't know if I'll read another book by this author.
