Maria Vazquez, her name was, and she had a life, a face, a family. Just like all the other girls brought from Mexico. She was the first to find her way to the Philadelphia police, the first to tell her harrowing story of being lured out of Mexico and enslaved – and the first the police found out had subsequently “disappeared.â€
After a year of searching for the hundreds of other women like her, too many of them underage, the trail has gone cold. The police, left with a string of clues pointing to the elusive, hydra-headed Mexican mafia known as Los Oscuros, don’t know where to look next.
So they bring in a fresh pair of eyes: Detective Michael Ross.
Ross arrives in Philadelphia with just days to uncover the organization before they skip town for good. It’s an impossible task, but Ross can’t leave those girls to their fate. He’s going to bring down Los Oscuros and save every single one of their victims – even if it kills him.
