  My stepfather destroyed our family. Now, twelve years later, he's back in our life and I want justice for myself, and for my little sister. 
   
   
   
  It's that aftershave. I'm trying to work out the familiar smell which is creeping up my nostrils. 
   
   
   
  I see him come towards me confidently, smiling. Dressed in a navy suit, crisp white shirt and red tie. He may be a bit greyer around the edges, but there's no doubt it's him. 
   
   
   
  As I stand just a few inches away from the man who invaded my sleep, dreams, and nightmares for years, I can't believe I've survived. 
   
   
   
  I stare straight into his dark eyes. As he reaches his hand out towards me, I vomit all over his feet. 
   
   
   
  Everyone respects my stepfather. But I know who he really is. 
   
   
   
  An exhilarating blend of emotional family drama and breathtaking suspense with a shocking final twist.

  When Detective Coby Drake is called to the Cinema Direct theater on 9th Street, the scene doesn’t seem any different from others he had worked during his career. It was when theater deaths began to increase around the city of New Orleans and the common factor between them all was the discovery of inoperable cell phones near the victims that tested his skills as a detective. 
  Coby, a tough NOPD officer who loves his job, has seen his share of crime, but this time is different somehow. Could the deaths be merely coincidence or could it be something more sinister in the making? 
  His obsession with the case takes a twisted turn after the death of someone close to him. Does Coby live up to the oath he had taken years ago when becoming a police officer, or does it cause him to be just like the many criminals he had arrested over the years?

  Fifteen-year-old Ámbar has never known any parent other than her father, Víctor Mondragón, nor any life other than his. On any given Friday night, Ámbar longs to be at the arcade or a rock concert, but she’s more likely to be patching up Víctor’s latest bullet hole in a dingy motel or creating a new set of fake identities for the both of them. 
   
  When a tattooed mercenary kills Víctor’s best friend and vows that Víctor is next, father and daughter set off on a joyride across Argentina in search of bloody retribution. But Ámbar’s growing pains hurt worse than her beloved sawed-off shotgun’s kickback as she begins to question the structure of her world. How much is her father not telling her? Could her life ever be different? And will she survive long enough to find out? 
   
  It’s kill or be killed in this gritty, devastating coming-of-age thriller from the king of Argentine neo-noir.
