Finalist, 2020 Silver Falchion Award
Survivor of a deadly cartel ambush, Detective Emilia Cruz returns to Acapulco to recover from the trauma. Before she can catch her breath, her penniless stepfather is kidnapped. The stakes couldn't be higher as Emilia finds herself thrust back into the dangerous world of drug cartel violence.
At the same time, a Russian guest is murdered by a cold-blooded killer in the luxury hotel managed by her boyfriend, Kurt Rucker.
As the kidnappers tighten their grip on Emilia's family, she discovers a chilling connection between the Russian murder victim and fuel thieves wreaking havoc on Mexico's underground gas pipelines.
Soon she's on a midnight stakeout, waiting and watching for the thieves.
But she's really on a collision course with a cold-blooded killer and his powerful Russian boss.
