  A surprise trip to Miriam's parents in Punta Cana, which should be filled with arroz con pollo and breezy days under the tamarind tree, quickly becomes a hunt for a possible property saboteur. But before Miriam can begin to uncover the person damaging the vacation rentals her parents manage, she’s called away to Puerto Rico to film a Three Kings Day special. She's welcomed to the blue ballast-stone streets of Old San Juan by crime-scene tape, and things only get worse from there. An anonymous personal gift on Miriam's doorstep on New Year's Eve screams stalker, and the 400-year-old guesthouse creaks and moans like there is something trapped in its walls. Luckily, her BFF, Alma, and their mutual friend, Jorge, are in town to keep her distracted between filming cultural segments for the network. But private chef tables and spa days come to an abrupt halt when Jorge's telenovela heartthrob novio goes missing. And there is something worrisome about Alma's too-perfect boyfriend—specifically his duffle bag full of cash. Will demon masks, African drumbeats, and dark alleys lead to Miriam's demise? Or will the mysterious events come together like the delicious layers of a pastelón?

For the first time, from her only window, she could see something, and something non-threatening; ships. These ships, parked in the bay became her friends.

  21st Precinct The - The Baker &...

  Cop shows have been a staple of the media almost from the beginning. These fictional accounts created the easy to understand the formula of ‘ ’diabolical crime plus brilliant detective equals the sometimes not-so-obvious solution’’. 
   
  But in the early years of the 1950s something radically different came along. 
   
  21st precinct was a very dramatic police drama and based on the workings of a true life Police Department, described in the program as ‘’just lines on a map of the city of New York, most of the 173,000 people wedged into the nine-tenths of a square mile between 5th Ave and the East River wouldn't know if you ask them they lived or worked in the 21st. Whether they know it or not, the security of their persons, their homes, and their property is the job of the men of the 21st.’’ 
   
  From the opening phone call the listener is right in the middle of the drama. Privy to the actual workings from start to conclusion. 
   
  The 21st’s manpower was made up of 160 patrolmen, eleven sergeants, and four lieutenants, under the command of one captain - Frank Kennelly, played by Everett Sloane, who was also the show’s narrator.  
   
  He’s about to take that call….
