The first novel in this outstanding series was named a Best Mystery of the year by both "Library Journal" and "January Magazine". It also won the Latino Literary Hall of Fame's Best Mystery of the Year Award, and was selected for the Latino Voices of the Year list by the New York Public Library. The next two books in the series garnered similar raves. In this new outing, Sheriff Luis Gonzalo has to find out why the town's children are disappearing one by one. What begins as a simple search for a lost child rapidly snowballs into a hair-raising struggle between small-town cops and international villains.
