✦ Synopsis

Teeming with the shadows of revolution in Central America, the illicit drug trade, and pre-Colombian myth, this spell-binding detective novel offers new twists to the genre. Romilia Chacón, a rookie in the Nashville police force, finds herself thrown into a big case on her new beat. Are the ceremonially slaughtered cadavers popping up around town the product of ancient ritual, a serial killer, or a campaign to shock rival drug lords into compliance? Can the recently arrived detective prove herself on her first assignment while juggling work and home, where her mother and child are both so dependent on her? Combatting the machismo of the police force and the challenges of being an outsider within the Latino community, Chacón follows the trail of murder in this fully textured and well-developed whodunit.
