"A young Guatemalan Indian woman, kidnapped in Mexico, manages to break away from her captors in Avola, Florida, when the deal to sell her goes wrong. Her escape launches a series of events, beginning with the shooting deaths of two of her captors, that plunge private investigator Harry Brock into the violent underworld of human trafficking, threatening his life and that of others seeking the missing woman. Harry and Soñadora Asturias, a woman of Anglo and Mayan descent who runs Salvamento, a clandestine organization dedicated to rescuing human trafficking victims, find themselves caught between shadowy figures fighting to control the trafficking trade in Tequesta County. With Harry drawing closer to unmasking the traffickers and freeing their victims, and his personal problems intensifying, the story reaches a dramatic and startling conclusion."--Publisher description.
