Death in the Baja: A San Amaro Mystery

Julia Garcia isn't just breaking barriers as the first woman sergeant in the San Amaro State Police; she's shattering them. Despite being the most educated officer on the force, her career aspirations seem out of reach amidst the monotony of solving petty robberies and domestic disputes. Adding insult to injury, her male superiors dismiss her, perpetuating a culture where female officers are an afterthought.

But when an American resident disappears while hiking in the Baja desert with friends, Julia's unique blend of skills and fluency in English thrusts her into the heart of a gripping, high-profile case. As the search intensifies, Julia's instincts scream that something far more sinister lurks beneath the surface. Determined to unravel the truth, she must navigate a labyrinth of deceit and danger, drawing upon her intellect and training to decipher fact from fiction.

In a Mexican male-dominated world where skepticism meets every stride she takes, Julia faces her toughest challenge yet. Will she have the courage to trust her instincts, defy the odds, and uncover the chilling reality lurking in the shadows?

Ross’s characters are well-rounded and engaging. Readers will enjoy—and learn from—this page-turning thriller and will undoubtedly look forward to Ross’s future San Amaro mysteries.
