Two cartels with government officials in their pockets. A handsome doctor. Her old nemesis. Human trafficking. Is JadeAnne safe anywhere?
On the mend from a gunshot wound in Mexico City, investigator JadeAnne Stone needs to get Lily, the trafficked fifteen-year-old she rescued, back to her family in the U.S. But within hours of her release from the hospital she recognizes her nemesis, Anibal Aguirre trolling her neighborhood in a black SUV. Is he looking for her? He’s the one who sold her to the traffickers. Her U.S. operative father puts together a team for round-the-clock security, and Anibal is arrested during an attack on the house, but at the airport the U.S. Marshal transporting him is killed and Anibal disappears. Who knew Anibal was being extradited at 12:30? And why does it appear the Aguirre clan is right in the middle of a deadly human trafficking network? JadeAnne realizes that between the cartel traffickers, the government officials in their pockets, and possibly the handsome doctor she danced with in the park, nowhere and no one is safe, not even her dog Pepper. Whichever cartel paid for JadeAnne and Lily wants them back, and time is running out.

¡Buen Provecho!
For a pitcher: determine how many 3 ¾ oz drinks your pitcher holds and multiply your recipe by that many. Instead of using a shaker, put a half tray of ice into the pitcher and stir the ingredients into the ice. Pour immediately into your chilled glasses and garnish.
This recipe came to JadeAnne via a British banker working in Mexico City. Olé and God Save the King!
