Publisher's Synopsis

Ashley Naylor is a teenage runaway - she is found beaten, stabbed and left for dead in the backstreets of LA. When Ash's foster mother, Becca, discovers that Ash has been murdered, she sets out to track down the killer, seeking justice for this broken girl and salvation for herself. Ash's trail leads Becca to Hollywood, where souls are sold for the illusive promise of fame, and where using and throwing away a teenage girl is just another day at the office. But it's on the streets of downtown LA that Becca will ultimately find the answers she's desperately seeking, thrusting her into the untamed no-mans land of Skid Row, a ruthless mini society with its own rules and its own justice system.
