Summary
Detective and mystery stories. Suspense fiction. The southernmost Los Angeles district of San Pedro, once of the world's busiest harbours. Now it is a locus for gangs, human trafficking and all manner of decadence and mayhem. The ubiquitous Croatian and Italian longshoremen have diminished in numbers and influence. One Croat, Dinko Babich, has even stooped to taxi service. But one night, driving a 19-year-old Mexican dancer to her club, he falls desperately for this sweet, sincere and endearing girl. And when she sees something she should not have, something that links her to an investigation of a shipping container filled with 13 corpses, Dinko will do all he can to protect her from the lethal and terrifying men behind it
