Lives Laid Away - Stephen Mack Jones

Detroit ex-cop August Snow takes up vigilante justice when his beloved neighborhood of Mexicantown is caught in the crosshairs of a human trafficking scheme.

When
the body of an unidentified young Hispanic woman is dredged from the
Detroit River, the Wayne County coroner gives her photo to ex-police
detective August Snow, insisting August ask around his native
Mexicantown to see if anyone recognizes her. August's good friend Elena,
an advocate for undocumented immigrants, immediately pinpoints the girl
as local teenager Isadora del Torres. It turns out Izzy isn't the only
young woman to have disappeared during an ICE raid only to turn up dead a
few weeks later. Preyed upon by the law itself, the people of
Mexicantown have no one to turn to but August. In a guns-blazing wild
ride across Detroit, he will put his own life on the line to protect the
community he loves.
