"From Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner James Carlos Blake comes a dark thriller about the Wolfe family,a clan whose prevailing interests straddle both sides of the law. Twenty years ago, a college student Axel Prince Wolfe--heir apparent to this Texas family's esteemed law firm and its "shade trade" criminal enterprises--teamed up with his best friend Billy, and a Mexican stranger in a high-end robbery that went wrong. Abandoned by his partners, he was captured and imprisoned, his family disgraced, his wife absconded, his infant daughter Jessie left an orphan. Two decades later, with eleven years still to serve, Axel has exhausted his desire for revenge against the partners who deserted him. All he wants now is to see the woman his daughter has become, despite her lifelong refusal to acknowledge him. When the chance comes to escape in the company of a Cacho, a young Mexican inmate with ties to a cartel, Axel takes it, and a massive manhunt ensues. With his chance to see Jessie now within reach, a startling discovery re-ignites an old passion and sends Axel headlong toward reckonings many years in the making." --page [4] of cover
