Successful in her investigative work for All Souls Legal
Cooperative, happy with her newly renovated house, and
feeling somewhat more secure in her relationship with the
mysterious environmental activist, Hy Ripinsky, Sharon is
shocked to find herself suddenly faced with a wrenching
ultimatum. No longer a small, informal co-op, All Souls
has grown. New legal partners, exasperated with Sharon's
free-wheeling ways, want to kick her upstairs with a
raise, perks, and a "career opportunity" that will chain
her to a desk forever. Offered a take-it-or-leave-it deal,
Sharon is in turmoil. And to make matters worse, Hy has
disappeared. His abandoned plane, wrecked rental car, and
a road map point to RKI, a firm of international security
consultants with a reputation for questionable, unorthodox
tactics and clients engaged in controversial research.
Sharon discovers that they hired Hy as a free-lance
operative and that they, too, are looking for him.
Determined to find out what has happened, Sharon pushes
aside her career concerns at All Souls and plunges into a
search that will force her to take unlikely sanctuary in
her abandoned San Diego childhood home and find and
unexpected ally in her wild, unpredictable brother John.
From the drive-by hiring hall for illegal aliens in
Imperial Beach to an opulent villa on the Mexican coast,
she will track down every clue in a complex plot that
builds to a breathtaking climax on the treacherous canyon
trails that lead back across the border. There, in a no-
man's-land where terrified pollos defy la migra in a
desperate bid for freedom...and where decisions won't
wait, Sharon must make the tough choices that put her own
life, her own freedom, and everything she holds dear at
deadly risk.
