The Missing — Cynthia Pelayo

A New Novel from the Award Winning Author of SANTA MUERTE

“The cross was constructed of untreated, unpainted two-by-fours. There was no text across the surface. No flowers. No reminders of the person who had died. Death made its presence known only by the molded wood. The figure rose, the black shroud it wore obscured its head, face, and the rest of its body. The black fabric dragged on the dry desert floor. A hand reached up and touched the center of the cross, but no flesh was there to feel, just bone.”

Ariana Molina has returned to Mexico after she learns of the existence of a half sister.

Yet, during this trip back to Mexico Ari learns of her true dark connection to Santa Muerte, the Mexican saint of death. She must now decide whether to align herself with black magic, making a deal with the darkness to save the only living family member she has left while also facing Mexico's nameless, torturous rising criminal.
