The disappearance of a teenage girl in upstate New York sets off a powder keg of accusations, bigotry, and fearβwith deadly resultsβin Suzanne Chazin's stunning new mystery featuring Hispanic police detective Jimmy Vega . . .
On a frigid, January night, a blond, blue-eyed high school girl walks out of an English class she tutors for immigrantsβand vanishes. Suspicion quickly falls on the men she was teaching, many of whom are undocumented. As disturbing evidence trickles in, news of the incident spreads beyond the scenic town of Lake Holly, New York, unearthing deep-seated fears and enflaming cultural tensions.
For county police detective Jimmy Vega, the situation is personal. His girlfriend, Harvard-educated attorney Adele Figueroa, heads the immigrant center where the teen volunteer disappeared. If Vega can't find the girl soon and clear Adeleβs clients, the place of refuge may be forced to shut its doors. Still reeling over his own recent career missteps, Vega does his best to run interference between Adele and the local police. But when Vega's boss assigns him a grunt detail working for the new county supervisor, the manβs political ambitions clash with Vegaβs deepest convictions. Vega can't imagine a worse turn of eventsβuntil he uncovers even darker forces at play. Someone wants to destroy far more than Vega's career. And no matter which way he turns, every step will put him and his family in the killerβs cross-hairs.
