Synopsis: With his eight bestselling, Prey, novel series John Sanford has proven himself as one of America's very best thriller writers. His ability to combine intriguing characters with edge-of-you-seat drama has earned him an audience that has grown hugely with every book. And he's off and running again in this offering. With, The Night Crew, John introduces us to a whole new cast of characters --- and sets a brand-new level of suspense. Anne Batory runs the night crew, small, dark-haired, and tough, a Wisconsin farm girl on the streets of Los Angles, she roams the city with her small band of freelancers in their van from ten to dawn looking for news; accidents, robberies, murders, demonstrations --- anything they can shoot and sell to local stations or the networks. It's an exhilarating life ... until the night two deaths shake their world. First is the jumper. Five stories up, perched on the ledge of a hotel window, dark pants, white shirt, just standing there --- and then he's gone. Falling through thin air toward their cameras. The second is Jason, and he's one of Anna's cameramen. Strangely affected by the jumper, he quits the scene early that night, not seen again until his body turns up on the beach several hours later, shot in the head. The police wonder if it's drug related, but Anna isn't so sure, and the more she looks into it on her own, the more the ghosts of the past -- hers, Jason's, and finally the jumper's -- begin to emerge, until her hold world turns as dark and dangerous as the night itself. John Sanford has written thrillers before, but nothing even close to topping the extraordinary twist and tension of, The Night Crew. It was indeed his most chilling novel yet. This was John Sanford's 9th work. Book summaryAnna Batory roams the streets of Los Angeles with a video crew looking for stories to videotape and sell to news stations for the highest bidder.
