false 2345916 6 While scouting locations for a film documentary on the Arizona's Apache Wars, private investigator Lena Jones and Oscar-winning director Warren Quinn, discover the mutilated body of a young girl. The gruesome manner of the child's death evokes memories of Lena’s own rough childhood. Clashing with the local law, Lena's investigation uncovers a small town with a big secret. Los Perdidos is not the Eden it first appears. Founded by the descendants of pioneers who fought Geronimo, the townspeople have now armed themselves against the hordes of illegal immigrants streaming across the Arizona/Mexico border. A significant population of documented foreign-born residents also lives and works in Los Perdedos at a modern plant. Lena senses a sinister force at work in the town—but where? Then two more girls disappear from Los Perdidos, and as the death toll mounts, Lena is tempted to implement some frontier justice of her own. When she finally unmasks the killer, she discovers a chain of horrific crimes responsible for subjugating millions of girls and women around the globe. In Desert Cut, the still vivid memory of Geronimo's war mixes with the modern immigration war, the hard life on the Arizona/Mexico border contrasts with Hollywood's slick production meetings, and the cruelty of an ancient practice is tempered by a growing underground railroad fighting to save its young victims. 2352626 15 2 2008 Desert Cut: A Lena Jones Mystery (Lena Jones) total:19|5:6|4:3|3:9|1:1| 19 70 36 6 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 3 0 false Sun Jul 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 16:03:09 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 19:02:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 5 0 false Tue Jul 07 22:15:19 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 22:20:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 4 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Apr 19 16:41:43 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 16:44:08 -0700 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 5 0 false Mon Aug 03 18:28:48 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 18:29:29 -0700 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 4 0 false Thu Sep 11 06:02:22 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 17:54:42 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 06:02:22 -0700 2008 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 5 0 false Sat Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 13:46:29 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 13:47:56 -0800 2008 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Mon Nov 16 09:55:15 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 09:55:25 -0800 2009 6487932 1590585836 9781590585832 2 0 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6487932-desert-cut 4 0 false Sun Oct 18 12:02:29 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 14:06:18 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 07:02:22 -0700 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Fri Oct 02 12:06:48 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 12:06:48 -0700 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 3 0 false Sat Jun 20 13:20:59 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 13:20:59 -0700 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Mon May 25 12:07:11 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 12:07:11 -0700 2009 6487932 1590585836 9781590585832 2 0 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6487932-desert-cut 1 0 false Fri May 22 12:50:45 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 12:50:45 -0700 2009 3008362 0978159584927 1 0 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3008362.Desert_Cut 5 0 false Wed May 20 20:11:07 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 11:36:27 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 20:11:07 -0700 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Tue Mar 31 18:23:07 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 18:23:12 -0700 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Mon Feb 16 11:38:18 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 11:38:18 -0800 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Tue Feb 03 06:04:29 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 06:04:29 -0800 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Fri Jan 09 09:56:21 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 09:56:23 -0800 2009 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Mon Dec 15 08:30:37 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 08:30:50 -0800 2008 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 0 0 false Mon Dec 15 07:34:25 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 07:34:25 -0800 2008 2345916 1590584910 9781590584910 16 6 3.68 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2345916.Desert_Cut_A_Lena_Jones_Mystery 5 0 false Sat Dec 13 22:29:20 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 22:29:20 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2345916
