Description: "The news if full of it: escalating tensions from illegal immigration; headless bodies hanging off bridges and bounties placed on lawmen on both sides of the border. New Austin, Ohio, is a town grappling with waves of undocumented workers who exert tremendous pressure on schools, police, and city services.

But the rape-murder of a Mexican-American woman triggers a brutal chain of events that threaten to leave no survivors..."--Dust jacket.
