"Willie Cuesta, former Miami Police Department detective turned private investigator, takes on a new case that involves traveling to Central Florida to search for an undocumented farmworker who has disappeared. In Cane County, Willie discovers a healthy agricultural industry, a large migrant population picking the crops and a heavily armed, anti-government militia. It turns out his client isn't the first undocumented worker to go missing; several have disappeared though their illegal status means their family and friends won't go to the authorities. As he digs into the case, several suspicious characters surface: Narciso Cruz, who is responsible for smuggling in the undocumented workers willing to do the backbreaking labor for minimal pay; Quincy Vetter, a local landowner who has imposed his anti-government sentiment county wide; and Dusty Powell, a drug dealer who has contributed to several heroin overdoses in the area. And there's the very beautiful daughter of a farm owner who wants salsa lessons! When people he talked to start turning up dead, Willie knows he's onto something big--and dangerous. But is it related to the local drug business? Or the anti-government lunatics? When his investigation leads to a piece of property near the Everglades, Willie Cuesta finds himself playing cat-and-mouse with several armed men intent on putting an end to the case--and him!"-- Publisher.
