February At feldman's On Fifth

This is the second book in the Xara Smith Mysteries Series. In this adventure Xara Smith is hired by an immigrant kitchen worker to find her husband and son. The worker crossed into this country illegally, and her family was to follow. They never made it. Xara takes on a partner, Jill, for a long road trip where most of the action takes place. It is difficult for Xara to use her best resource, INS, for this adventure because their job is to round up the illegal aliens and send them back to where they came from.
