Publisher's Synopsis
Globally, tens of thousands of children and women disappear each year, marketed like cuts of meat, sold into labor or sexual bondage, even in the United States. Many never see home again, and perish from drug addiction, murder or suicide. Seventeen-year-old Linda McCulley is missing, abducted to Mexico by her mother's boyfriend, and destined for sale into white slavery. But Sever Nigh has an idea where she is and sets out to find her, plunging his life into chaos. Tracking Linda McCulley and her kidnappers to the Yucatan, he is ambushed, then rescued by a Mexican business magnate who discerns that Sever is behind what are known as the Zorro crimes. When Sever's vigilantism attracts the wrath of thwarted human traffickers and the suspicious eye of federal agencies, the noose of circumstance tightens; he's caught between the criminals he fights and two governments that consider him the criminal.
