Another riveting novel (her third) by Ms. Hernandez. Alma is a film editor for a True Crime series. An assignment to edit video information about the Scarborough Stalker triggers flashbacks to when Alma was a child, a 10-14-year-old, when her community was terrorized. Although female resilience is a worthy outcome, the ugly face of misogyny, romantic power struggles and generalized complicity in rape culture produces a gritty and disturbing story.
