A poisoned eight-month-old Maya baby boy living with paid caretakers on the American side of San Diego’s Mexican border grabs Bo’s heart and sends her into Tijuana, where she can legally investigate nothing, in search the little boy’s mother. When the mother, a successful singer from Guatemala, dies onstage in a Tijuana bar from a different poison, Bo finds herself snarled in a web of international intrigue that threatens the child’s future, and her own. “A powerful novel with complex characters, a sophisticated love story, evocative descriptions, and heart-stopping action.” Minneapolis Star Tribune
