When Detective Emilia Cruz finds the body of a young woman brutally murdered in a derelict building, she’s shocked to learn that the victim is the sister of Acapulco’s ambitious mayor, who is running for re-election.
Emilia suspects the murder is a case of femicide by the victim’s estranged boyfriend. But the crime scene itself is a clue she can’t overlook. The building was once used for a secret Mexican government operation targeting a ruthless drug lord.
But before Emilia can arrest her prime suspect, she is sent on an errand of mercy to Washington, DC.
There, Emilia becomes a fugitive in a foreign land. Frightened, alone, and hunted by killers masquerading as cops, she only has her wits to survive a deadly game of political intrigue on the wrong side of the border.
