El Macho

Jessica Watts has one rule. Nobody gets away with murder.

When her friend is abducted and abandoned in the desert by self-proclaimed "alpha males," the case becomes personal. But as she digs deeper, Jessica discovers those responsible are connected to an unsolved murder case that's haunted her.

She's ready this time.

But "ready" means nothing when the enemy includes corrupt sheriffs and local power brokers who've perfected the art of making problems disappear. To solve these crimes she'll need every skill she has—and a motivation beyond revenge.

Will Jessica finally bring down the men behind the crimes—or will she become another woman they silence forever?

El Macho is the gripping fifth novel in the Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense Series—perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter's relentless heroines, Lisa Gardner's pulse-pounding suspense, and readers who crave atmospheric mysteries with fierce female protagonists.
