When sheβs summoned to his bedside at Physicians Medical Center in Tucson, itβs impossible for her to turn away. And knowing Reyes as well as she does, Ali finds it hard to believe that heβs become mixed up in the drug trade, despite evidence to the contrary. Upon arriving at the hospital, Ali finds that her good friend, Sister Anselm, is there, tooβworking as a patient advocate on behalf of another seriously injured victim, an unidentified young woman presumed to be an illegal border crosser, who was raped and savagely beaten.Ali becomes determined to seek justice in both cases and secure safety for both victims.
