Located in the Namerican Southwest, the Montezuma Strip is the Western hemisphereтАЩs largest concentration of industry, commerce, assemblage, cutting-edge technologyтАФand trouble. So itтАЩs no surprise to Insp. Angel Cardenas that thereтАЩs been yet another murder. What is surprising is the victim: an apparently well-off man with a clean ID. Well, two clean IDs┬а.┬а.┬а.
Trying to nail down the manтАЩs real identity takes Cardenas and his partner to a good side of town, where a womanтАФliving as his wife тАФand her daughter reside. But that gets them nowhere, especially when they barely escape the high-tech security system that blows up the house and everything in it.
Relying on his intuit abilities, Cardenas learns that the woman was on the run from KatlaтАЩs father, a nasty felon with a long rap sheet. Going rogue, Cardenas follows their tracks from the gritty urban underworld of Quetzal to a lush primate paradise in Costa Rica. Because what twelve-year-old Katla knowsтАФwhat she isтАФmakes her the target of not just her father, but a host of others willing to kill to possess her┬а.┬а.┬а.
