"A funny, literate thriller. Trolley lights a long, sparking fuse of a plot and follows it all the way through to an explosive ending." Publishers Weekly

San Diego Police detective Tommy Donahoo is sent to Mexico to assist the Tijuana police in the investigation of the brutal rape and murder of a rich socialite who advocated for the poor, angering a vicious crime lord named Diablo and embarrassing the corrupt, local politicans. But soon bodies start piling up and things get complicated. Donahoo falls into the bed of a beautiful, fiery activist attorney and discovers the real, deadly reason he was sent to Mexico.

"Readers who don't flinch easily will find steady interest in the darkly comic dialogue, unblinkingly grim reportage, and intriguing character tidbits." Kirkus Reviews
