One man erases names.
One woman restores them.
They are counting the same people.
In the lawless Darién Gap, a cartel enforcer who runs the migrant “tollbooth” believes he is the only thing keeping desperate people alive. Then he is ordered to start disappearing them to hide a cocaine road.
When his own ten-year-old daughter vanishes into the pipeline he built, the only person who can find one living girl among the anonymous dead is the forensic scientist downriver whose evidence of his massacre is about to call a U.S. missile down on them all.
“To save one living child, the woman who names the dead must aim a strike at ninety.”
Camilo must break his own machine to undo it. Sol must decide whether the truth she has assembled can save a child without killing the people around her.
