Buried Seeds

Death doesn't take a break, even after a pandemic.

When PI Yolanda Ávila stumbles onto a bloody murder scene, she's thrust into a race against time to save two innocent men: Gamaliel Campamoche, an undocumented immigrant facing deportation, and his employer Kinji Abe, a WWII American concentration camp survivor.

The investigation pulls Yolanda and her diverse team into the dark corners of a changing city, where real estate sharks circle neighborhoods and activists harbor secrets of their own. As she peels back layers of deception, she discovers how greed and desperation can turn neighbors into enemies—and enemies into killers.

As the case escalates, so do the dangers. And so does the juju that Yolanda thought she’d left behind. The protective spirits of Yolanda's mother and uncle seem to be stirring again, sending warnings she can't ignore. With the body count rising, Yolanda must separate truth from illusion before another life is claimed.
