Howard Moon Deer, P.I., is enjoying lunch at Angelina’s Heavenly Burrito Wagon, when a squad of heavily armed men in helmets and tactical gear swarm from their vans searching for undocumented migrants. ICE has arrived in the fashionable tourist town of San Geronimo in northern New Mexico.
But nothing is at it seems. When Nicolo, a young migrant from Venezuela, makes a run for it hoping to get away, the raiders give chase, a gunshot thunders in the air, and one of the masked officers falls dead.
When Howie and his team are hired to find the young migrant who has escaped, they soon find themselves on the run from Federal agents as they try to understand what really happened at the burrito truck. The trail leads them at last into the remote desert where a revolution is brewing.
BLOOD SANCTUARY is an epic thriller set in perilous times.
