Jack
Bishop lives the life of every man’s dream with a beautiful
wife and a happy,
healthy daughter, Toby. He has the career he always wanted and a loving
home in
a peaceful Texas border town. But it is no coincidence that
Jack’s life seems
perfect. His past hides a black secret, one he hides from his family,
one he
hides from himself.
When Toby goes missing, Jack knows his past has come back to haunt him.
He also
knows the only way he can find her is to use the powers of his long
forgotten
faith, La Santa Muerte, protectors of the sinner, the worshippers of
the dead.
Accompanied by the insecure newly-appointed sheriff and a pair of wary
FBI
agents, Jack’s search takes him deep into his past, to a
psychic who visualizes
Jack’s secret in terrifying detail, to the squalid barrios
and seediest
brothels in Mexico City’s underbelly. But the power of the La
Santa Muerte is
stronger than he ever imagined, as it reaches out to touch his family
and
reveals an even darker and unexpected web of lies and deceit.
