    About this series

    A long-buried family secret and a chance encounter with an estranged sibling force police detective Jimmy
    Vega to confront his deepest fears in this gripping new mystery by award-winning author Suzanne Chazin …

    It’s spring in Lake Holly, New York, a time of hope and renewal. But not for immigrants in this picturesque upstate
    town. Raids and deportations are on the rise, spurring fear throughout the community.

    Tensions reach the boiling point when the district attorney’s beautiful young bride is found hanging in her flooded
    basement, an apparent victim of suicide. But is she, wonders Vega? If so, where is her undocumented immigrant maid?
    Is she a missing witness, afraid to come forward? Or an accessory to murder?

    Vega gets more help than he bargained for when Immigration and Customs Enforcement sends an investigator
    to help find—and likely deport—the maid. It’s Vega’s half-sister Michelle, the child who caused his father to leave his
    mother. Now an ICE agent, Michelle tangles with Vega and his girlfriend, immigrant activist Adele Figueroa. The law
    is the law, Michelle reminds Vega. And yet, his heart tells him he needs to dig deeper, not just into the case but into
    his past, to a childhood terror only Michelle can unlock.

    While Vega searches for the demon from his youth, he discovers one uncomfortably close by, erecting a scheme of
    monstrous proportions. It’s a race against the clock with lives on the line. And a choice Vega never thought he’d have
    to make: Obey the law. Or obey his conscience. There’s no margin for error …

      The disappearance of a teenage girl in upstate New York sets off a powder keg of accusations, bigotry, and fear-with deadly results-in Suzanne Chazin's stunning new thriller featuring Hispanic police detective Jimmy Vega. On a frigid, January night, a blond, blue-eyed high school girl walks out of an English class she tutors for immigrants-and vanishes. Suspicion quickly falls on the men she was teaching, many of whom are undocumented. As disturbing evidence trickles in, news of the incident spreads beyond the scenic town of Lake Holly, New York, unearthing deep-seated fears and enflaming cultural tensions. For county police detective Jimmy Vega, the situation is personal. His girlfriend, Harvard-educated attorney Adele Figueroa, heads the immigrant center where the teen volunteer disappeared. If Vega can't find the girl soon and clear Adele's clients, the place of refuge may be forced to shut its doors. Still reeling over his own recent career missteps, Vega does his best to run interference between Adele and the local police. But when Vega's boss assigns him a grunt detail working for the new county supervisor, the man's political ambitions clash with Vega's deepest convictions. Vega can't imagine a worse turn of events-until he uncovers even darker forces at play. Someone wants to destroy far more than Vega's career. And no matter which way he turns, every step will put him and his family in the killer's cross-hairs. Author bio: Suzanne Chazin won widespread acclaim for the Jimmy Vega series, including Land of Careful Shadows, A Blossom of Bright Light, and No Witness But the Moon. She is also the author of the Georgia Skeehan mystery series, including The Fourth Angel, Flashover, and Fireplay. She has twice been the recipient of the Washington Irving Book Award for fiction. Her fiction, essays, and articles have appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers, as well as the award-winning short story anthology, Bronx Noir. She lives in the New York City area.
