Femicide That revived, archaic term is now applied to kidnappers, rapists and murderers of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of young female workers at the international factories in Juarez, Mexico, across the border from El Paso, Texas. Killers ignominiously discard their victims' bodies in isolated "body dumps." Constantly on the hot seat of the Inspector General for controversy and notoriety in border tabloids, Ross Spencer is hounded out of the Border Patrol. Headed for bankruptcy, almost before he launched his private investigations business, an intriguing young female investigator from Spain offers him a lucrative, unwritten contract to help her stop the crimes against the Juarez factory workers, called maquiladoras. Ross eventually learns that Olga, and later hire, Rocio Davis, an Iraq War widow and Mexican native, have some serious scores to settle with machismo-driven, border men. SAMPLE TEXT "You mean I gotta go in drag?" "That's a crude and cynical way of putting it Ross. ...We will...make ourselves bait for some of the maquila commuter bus drivers they call ruteros, and other targets." "A man could get seriously killed that way."
