Genre: Thriller
Description:
“Haunted by memories of an op gone bad, former assassin Leine Basso
travels to Bangkok in search of a missing backpacker. With help from an old
contact, she discovers the man responsible for the girl’s disappearance is
connected to a violent Hong Kong triad and is the linchpin of an extensive
trafficking network—both animal and human.
Making enemies isn’t new for Leine, but making one in the triad is—she
soon finds herself a prisoner on board a cargo ship headed for sub-Saharan
Africa. To ensure her survival and to continue her hunt for the missing girl,
she must join forces with Derek, an ivory poacher who promises to help her.”
Author:
“DV Berkom is the award-winning author of two action-packed thriller
series featuring strong female leads (Leine Basso and Kate Jones). Her love of
creating resilient, kick-ass women characters stems from a lifelong addiction
to reading spy novels, mysteries, and thrillers, and longing to find the female
equivalent within those pages.
Raised in the Midwest, she earned a BA in political science from the
University of Minnesota and promptly moved to Mexico to live on a sailboat.
Several years and a multitude of adventures later, she wrote her first novel
and was hooked.”

Appraisal:
Cargo is the fourth book featuring Leine Basso. The
short review: this book is like the others, intense.
Leine has a talent for getting into tight situations that will have
you on the edge of your seat, wondering how, or even if, she'll manage to
accomplish whatever she set out to do. How is she going to manage to get out of
whatever dangerous situation she's stumbled into? As in some of Leine's past
adventures, in Cargo she finds herself dealing with human trafficking
and having to find her way in foreign environments in what I thought was her
most intense case so far.
