"When the body of an anonymous young Hispanic woman dressed as Queen Marie Antoinette is dredged from the Detroit River, the Detroit Police Department wants the case closed out fast. Wayne County Coroner Dr. Bobby Falconi gives the woman's photo to his old pal August Snow, insisting August show it around his native Mexicantown to see if anyone recognizes her. August's good friend Elena, a prominent advocate for undocumented immigrants, recognizes the woman immediately. Her story is one the authorities don't want getting around--and she's not the only young woman to have disappeared during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (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. August Snow, ex-police detective, will not sit by and watch his neighbors suffer in silence. In a guns-blazing wild ride across Detroit, from its neo-Nazi biker hole-ups to its hip-hop recording studios, its swanky social clubs to its seedy nightclubs, August puts his own life on the line to protect the community he loves"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Ripped from the headlines submitted by mowjac on March 25, 2021, 3:53pm The second book in the series hits human-trafficking, white supremacy and keeps up the pace and the community. A great continuation.

Set in Detroit submitted by pamhockey25 on June 22, 2021, 12:15am Book two in the August Snow series continues with more from the streets of Detroit. This book deals with ICE on the streets of Mexicantown. We continue to see Jimmy, Tomas, Elena, O'Donnell and meet Oligivy and Lucy...I'm particularly looking forward to Lucy's continuing story. A fast, fun read.
