Publisher Description

Detroit ex-cop August Snow takes up vigilante justice when his beloved neighborhood of Mexicantown is caught in the crosshairs of a human trafficking scheme.

When the body of an unidentified young Hispanic woman is dredged from the Detroit River, the Wayne County coroner gives her photo to ex-police detective August Snow, insisting August ask around his native Mexicantown to see if anyone recognizes her. August’s good friend Elena, an advocate for undocumented immigrants, immediately pinpoints the girl as local teenager Isadora del Torres. It turns out Izzy isn’t the only young woman to have disappeared during an ICE raid only to turn up dead a few weeks later. Preyed upon by the law itself, the people of Mexicantown have no one to turn to but August. In a guns-blazing wild ride across Detroit, he will put his own life on the line to protect the community he loves.

Lives Laid Away

This wasn't as good as the original in my opinion. The author got too bogged down in the so called evil of ICE. It therefore became too much of a polemic and not enough of a real page turner, unlike the first novel.

By the way, the short couple of paragraphs where Mr. Snow's father takes a loan from a vicious pimp in order to pay for cancer treatments for his mother made no sense to me. I was on the Detroit Police Department during that period (a total of 35 years) and we had some of the best medical benefits in the country. I'm quite certain excellent care would have been available in several of Detroit's first rate hospitals and almost all of it covered by medical insurance.

I know, I know, it's a novel but still...

However, keep at it, Mr. Jones as I believe you're a very talented writer.

Sincerely,

Dan McKane
