Story
=====
This knockout punch of a thriller from a critically acclaimed author
follows a young Cuban detective's quest for vengeance against her father's
killer in a Colorado mountain town
A man is killed in a hit-and-run on a frozen mountain road in the town
of Fairview, Colorado. He is an illegal immigrant in a rich Hollywood
resort community not unlike Telluride. No one is prosecuted for his
death and his case is quietly forgotten.
Six months later another illegal makes a treacherous run across the
border. Barely escaping with her life and sanity intact, she finds work
as a maid with one of the employment agencies in Fairview. Secretly,
she begins to investigate the shadowy collision that left her father
dead.
The maid isn't a maid. And she's not Mexican, either. She's Detective
Mercado, a police officer from Havana, and she's looking for answers:
Who killed her father? Was it one of the smooth- talking Hollywood types?
Was it a minion of the terrifying county sheriff? And why was her father,
a celebrated defector to the United States, hiding in Colorado as the
town ratcatcher?
Adrian McKinty's live-wire prose crackles with intensity as we follow
Mercado through the swells of emotion and violence that lead up to a
final shocking confrontation.
