Description
Winner of the 2016 Library Journal Indie Ebook Award in Mystery.
Second in the Ray Myers thriller series was inspired by true events!
Maggie Frazier doesn't despair because she's 29 and still single, childless. If only ... As a former foster child and now baby peddler for a San Diego human smuggling outfit, Maggie's only wish is to raise enough money to care for orphans like herself. That's what has driven her to the cartel's rank of top salesperson; impersonating the worldly, cool-headed Sylvia Fischer, she can get the most reluctant client to fork over big money to adopt that baby, no matter what color it may be.
But her confident world abruptly unravels as the drunk, depressed foster dad whom she loves is killed and her latest shipment of babies gets kidnapped at the border in a terrible massacre of their caretakers. Most compelling of all, her cold-hearted boss find out she's skimming money from her sales and sends an enforcer around to settle things, perminently. Maggie Frazier is left with nothing to do but take the money and run off to Mexico.
Meanwhile, veteran crime reporter Ray "Magic" Myers, who breaks the desert massacre story, is hot on the kidnapping angle and will connect the killing of Maggie's father to her, the missing babies, and the smuggling ring.The more Myers discovers about the decades of failure Maggie's dad had trying to adopt his illegitimate child from Vietnam, the more Myers (a soured vet himself) is locked on helping Maggie find the abducted babies. None of this comes without a toll on Myers, however, and will get him fired after 20 years with the paper, sucker-punched by a bad cop, thrown in jail, later stabbed and even later shot.
Myers and Maggie make an unlikely pair in a desperate rescue attempt for the infants. They tenaciously follow a deadly path through the seamy nighttime streets of Ensenada and into the Baja badlands of ancient Indian land, places where both come to face the greatest challenges--and redemptive values--of their lives.
