When a body is discovered in a reservoir north of New York City, it ignites a baffling and disturbing murder investigation. The victim is young, female and Hispanic. In her purse, police find a photo of a baby. Where is the child? Is she alive? And what about the disturbing note found at the scene? &“Go back to your country. You don&’t belong here.&” Homicide detective Jimmy Vega knows how hard it can be to walk the razor-thin line of acceptance in a place like Lake Holly, NY. Reluctantly turning to Adele Figueroa, a passionate defender of immigrants&’ rights, Vega must confront his small town&’s darkest secrets and deepest obsessions—before they savagely tear apart the world he&’s sworn to defend.
