Armand AisselleOne day the author of this book was having dinner with her family when some men claiming to be cops knocked on their door to tell everyone that her first cousin, a young woman she had grown up with, had been brutally murdered with rocks shoved down her throat. Thus began the author’s search for the killer.

She peels back the layers of corruption and exploitation that lie just beneath the surface of sunny San Diego, California: police trafficking young women among themselves, madams providing girls to wealthy bankers, and others who may have wanted Donna killed because she knew too much. Donna Gentile paid the ultimate price for trying to reveal the truth.
