She's back: Gloria Damasco, the Chicana detective tempered during the civil rights movement. And she's involved in solving another mystery complete with gruesome murders. Is it a serial killer that is leaving the corpses strewn with artifacts from Native American rituals? Does it have something to do with the farm workers' union which the victims had worked for in the seventies? Gloria Damasco and Justin Escobar are the detectives who begin to look into the disappearance and death of the three former activists from the seventies. The trail the sleuths follow leads from the grape vineyards of Delano in 1973 to the old Native American ghost dancing site in the Valley of the Moon. The portentous landscape becomes a fitting site for the surprise denouement foreshadowed by Gloria's mysterious visions.

Mascaras (Masks) brings together some of the most talented contemporary Latina writers in the United States. These essays illuminate the ways life and craft are entwined. They are a courageous testament to the odds Latina writers must overcome to clear the space and achieve a voice in our society. Honest and open, these writers discuss the historical, linguistic, political, economic, and cultural realities that have shaped them as women and writers of color in the United States. Their lucid prose gives insight into the discipline and hard work necessary to reclaim, as Michelle Cliff might say, an identity they taught us to despise.
