From Library Journal
Ivon Villa, a women's studies professor who needs to finish her dissertation in order to keep her job, travels to her
hometown of El Paso to arrange for an adoption for herself and her female lover. Just across the border, however, the pregnant
Juarez factory worker who agreed to give up her baby becomes the latest victim in a long string of unsolved murders of Mexican
women in the area. Ivon vows to get past the secrecy, coverups, and conspiracy surrounding the terror-inflicting murders while
dealing with her mother's disapproval, her cousin's alcoholism, and a renegade priest's activism. Offering a powerful depiction
of social injustice and serial murder on the U.S.-Mexican border, this is an essential purchase for both mystery and Hispanic
fiction collections.
