Siskal Bonifante is a Mexican-American immigration lawyer who is accustomed to managing his practice in Washington D.C. on the sleazy side – high volume and low quality for whatever the market will bear. His world takes a turn when his Russian nanny clients start disappearing and he finds himself caught in a federal investigation for sex-trafficking, and the bad guys take him for a ride to find out how much he knows – and try to bury him! The judge who was going to hear his Nicaraguan client’s asylum case is murdered and Siskal is contracted to find the murderer – by the dead judge speaking to him from the grave. His investigation leads him from the hot Latino salsa clubs in Washington’s Hispanic barrios to the corridors of power on Capitol Hill. What he uncovers leads him on a race against time to stop the executioner’s knife before it strikes again.
