Currently, I am writing the third novel in my Arthur Nakai Mystery Series, When Silence Screams, set to be released in 2021.
Please read the synopsis below and tell me what you think.
Arthur Nakai, now armed with his newly minted Private Investigator license, has a visitor on his doorstep on White Mesa. Melanie Manygoats and her young son arrive on a cold winter’s day, and Arthur soon finds himself involved in searching for Melanie’s daughter, a 17-year-old missing Navajo girl. As the case develops, it leads him to believe she has been sold into human trafficking. After meeting with Shirley Becenti, the director and founder a woman’s shelter in Albuquerque, he heads deep into the horrifying and high-dollar world of prostitution, sexual slavery and BDSM torture.
When Arthur confronts the first of many low-life’s responsible for April Manygoats’ disappearance, it leads him to a man known to everyone in the trade as The Cuban. Running underage girls and women is his livelihood. They are his property, and he treats them as such---even going to the length of micro-chipping each of them, ensuring they will never leave his employment. To him, the revolving door of the flesh market is always rotating. And his clients are always looking for younger girls to please their insatiable appetite for debauchery.
Meanwhile, Navajo Nation Police Captain Jake Bilagody has his own problems. A 19-year-old girl is missing, her family is terrified, and all that was left behind was a bicycle hidden among scrub trees by an empty desert wash. Then, a young woman’s body is fished out of a lake on the reservation, blued and bruised and beaten to death. But that isn’t the only thing that turns Jake's stomach. Are the two related? Or are they part of a bigger, more horrifying picture?
Will Jake be able to trace the life of the girl found in the lake and locate her killer? Will he be able to find the missing girl and return her to her parents? And will Arthur be able to find April Manygoats in time . . . or is he already too late?
