A riveting thriller about a fugitive in search of a quick payday in
Mexico City who finds himself in the crosshairs of a dangerous
international scheme Victor Li is a man without a past. To his new
employer, Mark, he’s just an anonymous hired hand to help with
the dirty work. Together, they break into storage units that
contain the possessions of the recently deported, pocketing
whatever is worth selling. Only Victor and his sister, Jules, know
that he’s a wanted man. Amid the backpacks and suitcases, Victor
makes the find of a lifetime: a gem rare and valuable enough to
change his fortunes in an instant. But selling it on the sly?
Nearly impossible. Thankfully, its former owner, a woman named Song
Fei, also left a book of cryptic notes—including the name of a
gemstone dealer in Mexico City. When Victor and Mark cross the
southern border, they quickly realize that this gem is wrapped up
in a much larger scheme than they imagined. In Mexico City, shadowy
international interests are jockeying for power, and they may need
someone with Victor’s talents—the same ones that got him in
trouble in the first place. On the heels of his knockout debut
Beijing Payback, Daniel Nieh delivers Take No Names, a
white-knuckled and whip-smart thriller that races to an
electrifying finish.
