Death has no borders.
Traffic in downtown Los Angeles turns hellish when a woman hurtles from an overpass and crashes through the windshield of a car on the 110 Freeway. When her autopsy reveals a gruesome secret, Detective Finn O’Brien is determined to prove her death was no accident.
Together with his partner, Cori Anderson, he follows a twisted trail that leads into the veiled and exotic world of L.A.’s exiled African community, the luxurious enclaves of Hollywood and finally to the doorstep of a third world despot whose cruelty knows no bounds and whose influence has a stranglehold on the City of the Angels.
