Jimmy Vega mystery, 2

Summary

Immigration issues loom large in Chazin<U+2019>s well-paced second Jimmy Vega mystery, just as they did in the series opener, 2014<U+2019>s Land of Careful Shadows . Vega<U+2019>s job as a detective with the Lake Holly, N.Y., police puts him at odds with his girlfriend, Adele Figueroa, a Harvard-educated lawyer and founder of La Casa, the town<U+2019>s Latino community center, which shields undocumented immigrants. One morning, day laborers discover a dead newborn in the woods behind La Casa. Adele and Vega feel they might have prevented the death if Vega hadn<U+2019>t pressured Adele not to respond to a call she received from the center the previous evening. Meanwhile, an item of clothing on the body of a teenage girl found in the woods near a strip mall links Vega<U+2019>s college-age daughter, Joy, to the victim. Vega can<U+2019>t help investigating, despite his superior<U+2019>s warning not to become involved. Readers will hope to see a lot more of the fascinating, multidimensional lead characters.
