Lives Laid Away by Stephen Mack Jones
When the body of an unidentified young Hispanic woman is dredged from the Detroit River, the Wayne County coroner gives her photo to ex-police detective August Snow, insisting August ask around his native Mexicantown to see if anyone recognises her. August's good friend Elena, an advocate for undocumented immigrants, immediately pinpoints the girl as local teenager Isadora del Torres. It turns out Izzy isn't the only young woman to have disappeared during an ICE raid only to turn up dead a few weeks later. Preyed upon by the law itself, the people of Mexicantown have no one to turn to but August. In a guns-blazing wild ride across Detroit, he will put his own life on the line to protect the community he loves.Stephen Mack Jones is a published poet, an award-winning dramatist, and a Kresge Arts in Detroit Literary Fellowship recipient. He was born in Lansing, Michigan, and now resides outside of Detroit in Farmington Hills. Before turning to fiction, he worked in advertising and marketing communications for several years. His debut novel is August Snow.
