Realistic characters that readers can care about.--Detroit Free Press

A gritty police procedural that benefits from its offbeat locale and an impressive tapestry of believable characters.--Kirkus Reviews

New and convincing.--Mystery Scene

Gage's compelling novels are good examples of how talented crime writers use the police procedural form to lay bare a society.--Indianapolis Star

In the jungle on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Mario Silva and his team find hundreds of unknown corpses, often buried in family groups, and they learn that many would-be travelers to North America who used a local tourist agency have never reached their destinations. The motive for these murders is completely contemporary and completely appalling.
