Riassunto

Trial lawyer Jimmy “Royal” Payne was his own worst enemy—until now. Haunted by personal tragedy, wanted by the cops, Payne needs to skip town. What he doesn’t need is Tino Perez, a gutsy twelve-year-old Mexican boy in search of his missing—and undocumented—mother. But Payne’s ex-wife, an L.A.P.D. detective he still loves, makes him a deal: help the boy or go to jail. Soon Payne is following Tino into the dark side of the American dream. From bloody Mexicali to the bullet-ridden San Joaquin Valley, Payne will be swept into the dark current of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and sexual slavery—navigating the twisted border between justice and revenge.
