Something mysterious is killing the wildlife in the mountains just south of Tucson. When a college intern turned activist sets out to collect her own evidence, she, too, ends up dead. Local law enforcement is slow to get involved. That's when the mobile FBI unit goes undercover to infiltrate the town and its copper refinery in search of possible leads.
Quinn and Costa find themselves scouring the desolate landscape, which keeps revealing clues to something much darker—greed, child trafficking and more death. As the body count adds up, it's clear they have stumbled onto much more than they bargained for. Now they must figure out who is at the heart of this mayhem and stop them before more innocent lives are lost.

In rural Arizona, Special Agent Matt Costa commands the FBI Mobile Response Team's investigation into the murder of an environmental-science intern who was attacked while collecting evidence of illegal toxic-waste dumping. Lacking physical evidence, the case is going nowhere until Joe Molina, heir to the Southwest Copper refinery, agrees to inform on David Hargrove, the executive responsible for the illegal dumping. With key information coming in from undercover officers Michael Harris and Kara Quinn, and the team's forensic accountant digging into Hargrove's sideline trucking business, the team is closing in quickly. But the game changes when Hargrove is murdered and another body turns up, along with evidence of human trafficking. Costa knows his team's safety relies on finding the connection between the murders, the trafficking, and the illegal-dumping scheme. Brennan showcases a range of fascinating procedural detail, from undercover ops to forensic accounting, in this sequel to The Third to Die (2020). Pair this series with J. A. Jance's similarly team-driven Ali Reynolds thrillers.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
