Summary:
"Latino police detective Jimmy Vega must strike a precarious balance between the local immigrant community and his hometown's most powerful and privileged citizens during a dangerous murder investigation"--Dust jacket flap.

When a body is found near a gathering place for immigrants in upscale Lake Holly, NY, the cold-bloodedness of the crime and the innocence of the victim torment Detective Jimmy Vega. In a community gripped by fear of deportation, he needs the help of his girlfriend, activist Adele Figueroa, to gain people's trust. But Adele is consumed by a secret that threatens to tear them apart, and when the case takes a personal turn they discover that Lake Holly's tranquil façade hides a terror of monstrous proportions.
