As a teen, Winslow underwent construction surgery following a devastating car accident. --- Over the objection of her step-father to stay away from the lowlifes, Winslow believes strongly she needs to help the child. She investigates the incident, which takes her deep inside the Cuban exile community. Her family demands she back off her boss says her inquiry has nothing to do with her society column so she must stop, the Miami police investigating the incident warn her to desist even visiting the neighborhood that is dangerous for a wealthy outsider only a killer wants her to continue because the plan is to murder her soon. --- Though a journalist, when it comes to hard boiled investigation especially of a crime, Winslow is an obsessed amateur, who knows she should heed the advice she gets but feels an affinity with Elena that makes her want to help the child and uncover the truth. Winslow¿s obstinacy makes the who-done-it fun to follow as she agrees with her sisters, her editor, the cops, and others that she is making herself a target, but her gut refuses to let go as she knows first hand what the trauma of Elena¿s injuries does to the psyche. Fans of amateur sleuth tales will appreciate this strong South Florida crime thriller. --- Harriet Klausner
