River of Lies (A Rocío and Hala novel Book 0)

Description

Something is wrong in the city of La Bene.

The end of summer market is in full swing, with a music competition on one side and an exhibit of new magical machines on the other. The atmosphere sours when rumors of the return of the malarial mosquito fairies stir up angry crowds and suspicion of foreigners.

Detectives Rocío Díaz Rossi and Hala Haddad Sosa are on the spot when a conflict between an angry crowd and a boat full of despised river folk boils up. Rocio is known for her people skills and Hala has a talent for putting unlikely clues together. But nothing is what it seems in this case. Is their city at risk? Or are the stakes much more personal?
