The Tijuana Novels (Mexican Noir) #2
Mockingbird
A woman disappears for years without a trace.
Was she abducted?
Did she run away?
Is she alive or dead?
A clue offers hope and the search is on.
Josh’s Mexican wife Raquel vanished two years ago. Was she kidnapped? Killed? Did she bolt to begin a new life?
A bloody corpse dumped in Josh’s front yard propels him on a renewed search for his missing wife – a dangerous journey through Tijuana’s underbelly of sex trafficking, drugs, murder, and corruption.
Following one lead after another Josh finally discovers the answer to Raquel’s disappearance—an answer he never could have imagined.

It’s rare that a mystery totally throws me for a loop, but “Mockingbird” certainly did. The story follows Josh on his search through the crime ridden underworld of Tijuana while searching for his missing wife. Lots of twists and turns and some plot holes, but an interesting read nonetheless.
