The first five photographs were perplexing; but the sixth - the sixth seemed to be a chronicle of a death foretold.Houston homicide detective Stuart Haydon opens the anonymous envelopes to find two photographs of his late father, and three photographs of a beautiful woman he doesn't recognise. All five seem to date around fifty years ago.Photo number six is of Haydon himself, taken a few days earlier, and is marked with a felt-tip pen to show the trajectory of a bullet into his right eye and the resultant explosion of blood from the back of his head.It's not the first time Haydon has had a death threat, but as it becomes clear that this one could well be his last, Haydon is flung into a desperate search for the murderous maniac who's tracking him down - a search that leads to the sprawling mass of Mexico City and the unknown world of his father's past.

Houston homicide detective Stuart Haydon deals in lost souls, and Lena Muller, daughter of a prominent local family, is about as lost as you can get. Three months have passed since Lena went out to meet an old friend, and she has yet to retum. Haydon is determined to bring her home. But word has come that she has surfaced in a place far beyond her jurisdiction and way out of his league. To find her he must head for Guatemala, a land where people never die . . . they simply disappear. From the moment he arrives in Guatemala City Haydon finds nothing but traces of the Lena, her journalist lover, and the private detective who tracked them down. As he searches for the young woman in a ravaged country, he encounters a trail of her lovers and a string of brutal murders. Lena, it appears, has unearthed a dirty secret, one that reeks of death. Drawn into a world of casual violence and corruption, Haydon soon find that, like Lena, he is seeking the body of truth at the heart of a labyrinth of lies.
