Lola Sanchez, a pregnant woman, has been murdered in the parking of the New Hope Community Centre.
Special Agent Larsen has been assigned to investigate this murder. He will have the help of Dr Trevania Barlow, with a wearisome insistence. They will have to resolve this murder quickly if they don't want a street gang fight. But maybe help is not all he wants from her...
Trevy wants to help her students and want to know why they have killed a pregnant young woman, Lola. She knows maybe she will risk her life for it.
The murder of a young woman is never easy to understand and less if she's pregnant. At the very beginning you want to know who the murder is, not just for the money but to help the community.
You start understanding the actions of the characters because you emphasise with their feelings and their situations. And maybe, just maybe, you would make the same actions.
You will start reading this book wanting to know what happened, but you will be trapped in a world of gangs, murders and the support from a few allies.
