I actually picked this up because I want to read Torres' Precinct Puerto Rico series and number one was checked out at the library.
This book is about a father's desperate search for his missing 13-year-old daughter, Jasmine. He takes his nephew, our narrator, Marc, with him on this search. Along the way, we run into dangerous drug dealers, spoiled rich junkies and an underground sex ring. It is a dark, but quickly moving story. I finished it in two days because I had to know who killed Jasmine. I recommend to mystery fans all over.

bookbitch's review
This is dark, terrific story about a Puerto Rican family in crisis in New York City. Often called the "concrete jungle," the maze is more than just the concrete streets of NY, but rather the circuitous route that needs to be followed when a 13 year old girl goes missing. Her father and cousin drop everything and will do anything to find her and get her back unharmed, while the police aren't too concerned about another teenage runaway. Their search takes them into the world of runaways, drug addicts, sexual slavery, dirty cops and murder, making this a riveting ride through a complex, haunting tale.
