A badly mutilated body is found in Central Park. A random act in an increasingly violent city? A message? If so, from whom? To whom? When it’s discovered there might be a connection between the dead woman and an old high-school friend, Madeleine feels compelled to get involved in the case.
Never too busy to refuse his daughter’s request, Maurice agrees to help. “Politics makes strange bedfellows,” so does greed. In their effort to uncover the circumstances surrounding the murder, the father, and his daughter, stumble upon a toxic, often lethal, connection, between a key player in Big Pharma and one of Mexico’s most notorious drug cartels.
Working the case, they travel from New York, DC, Paris and Mexico. As they do, they not only uncover the sinister association, but identify a unique way of making payments so they cannot be traced. Is it true that crime does not pay? Not always.
