American women are dying. And it appears the cleaner sent to take out the killer has also been eliminated. The mission now falls to crack covert operative Nicole Porter. It's a mission she does not want—but she answers the call, thinking it will be a straightforward job. But that was before Nicole finds herself in the crosshairs of a Mexican drug cartel and a mysterious figure—perhaps more urban legend than real. She is soon in the worst situation she’s faced with Cleanup Crew, and only the perfect alignment of the stars in the sky—and her family on the Earth—can save her now.
Author

Scott James (S.J.) Varengo was born in 1960, in a city called New York. Two years later he formed a band called The Beatles [citation needed]. He returned to New York City to attend Fordham University (having been told it was a basketball powerhouse) before transferring to the State University of New York at Potsdam (having been told it was located in the tropics), from which he earned a bachelor’s degree in Art History. Varengo loves to read (favorite authors include Craig A. Hart, Kurt Vonnegut, J.R.R. Tolkien and an up-and-comer named Ernie Heming-something-or-other), listen to music (when he writes, it's usually jazz - the rest of the time it's Tasmanian flute concertos), and walk along forested trails with his wife Kim and their dog Tanner. He lives in Baldwinsville, NY, a suburb of Syracuse, known for its picturesque setting and its friendly people. He has two adult children of whom he is obnoxiously proud. His published works include a volume of short fiction, two fantasy novels, and an ever-growing list of spy/espionage novellas, which he co-writes with Craig A. Hart.
