DE SOTO VIGIL a complete story; readers of Amador Lockdown will find it deepens the first book.

At the Amador Lockdown Hector lost everything. His business. His standing. His son. He pled out, took the probation and the no-contact order, and now he works nights watching empty buildings for twelve dollars an hour, certain of only one thing: that whatever lived in the dark that night, he beat it. He saved his boy.

He is wrong about all of it.

Hector knows how to fight a haunting. To stop this one, Hector will have to stop trying to win. He will have to do the hardest, most frightening thing a grieving man can do: sit down in the dark, refuse to look away, and witness what was done, name by name, including the truth about his son.

It is a book about grief that does not finish, history that does not stay behind, and the radical idea that the sacred was never above us. It was always in the room, in the attention, in one person turning fully toward another with nothing wanted back.
