Summary
A father’s worst nightmare - Melchor Marin’s teenage daughter has disappeared.
Years have passed since Melchor took revenge for his mother’s murder and at last found peace with his daughter Cosette in the sleepy backwater of Terra Alta.
But their idyll is shattered when one day Cosette, now seventeen, discovers that her father has been concealing the truth of her mother’s death- that she was killed in a hit-and-run “accident” intended to scare Melchor off a case.
