The Girl from Veracruz

When the San Miguel Police are paralyzed by the grip of powerful pressure from behind the scenes, the Paul Zacher Agency is launched on a trail of human trafficking that reaches into one of the city’s most posh neighborhoods. Maya heads for Veracruz to track the origins of a Central American girl whose body was found in San Miguel. Paul meets his match in the upscale French bordello hostess from Toulouse named Renée Bontemps. Not everyone wins in this, the twelfth Paul Zacher mystery, but some defeats are worse than others.
