Buried Seeds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781642476415)

Former LAPD cop-turned private investigator Yolanda Avila takes on a new client whose son Gamaliel has been charged with murder. The undocumented pair benefit from the largess of Kinji Abe, an elderly Japanese American concentration camp survivor, who sees them a family. This brush with the law endangers more than Gamaliel's freedom. It opens him up to the risk of deportation to a country he barely knows. And when Kinji becomes a suspect, his "family" is at risk too.

Yolanda, her wife Sydney, and their BIPOC crew stumble onto the underside of gentrifier greed and activist angst, where things are not always as they seem, and where good people can go bad. Bad enough to kill.

As the case escalates, so do the dangers, and so does the juju that Yolanda thought she'd left behind. Are her mother and uncle again trying to protect her from the beyond? Or is her mind playing tricks on her? She needs to figure it out before more people get hurt or worse.
