Blind Belief (A Katlin Lamar Mystery)

Katlin La Mar, an Orange County, CA probation officer assigned to the Gang Violence Suppression Unit has a sense of foreboding when she answers a cry for help. She discovers a dying woman, whom she instantly recognizes as Maria Esparza, the mother of Miguel "Mooch" Esparza, Kate's nine year old probationer. Maria's dying word, "todopoderoso," sets into motion a tale of intrigue, deceit, and violence. The motive for Maria's murder eludes Katlin: Was it a random act of violence? Gang retaliation? Or is it related to the trafficking in black tar heroin?
