Book Description
Agua Ramon, a small community in the San Luis Valley of southwestern Colorado, is abruptly disrupted when Jason Montoya is killed by unknown circumstances. His body is literally mangled and torn to pieces. Francis Sandoval, the only witness swears it wasn't a bear as it was thought to have been. To her it was more like something out of the pits of hell. The wailing heard that night was from Satan's angels. Immediately, rumors of a legend circulate through communities. La Llorona was believed to have been awakened. $4.50Detective Lorrayne Lobato of the Denver Police, by orders of the Governor, is summoned to the case with the understanding from Copeland, Major Crimes Unit Supervisor, with the understanding that all her requests are to be filled. FBI agent Ron Jacksen would join her later in Del Norte. She is flown from Denver to Del Norte where the wailing is then heard near the river. She is torn between duty and superstition.Westside of Del Norte, known as The Westé, Officer Blackman and Officer Shaffer are sent to investigate a haunting wail near the Rio Grande River which flows north of town. Shaffer is brutally torn to shreds, and Blackman overcome with fear and heart failure which eventually claim his life.Sofia, a local resident who lives near the river has cursed Blackman and Shaffer who are involved in her grandson, Bobby's ( Weddo's) murder which was dismissed as a suicide.Lobato calls Copeland requesting, Miranda, a transsexual psychic who worked with her on a previous case, to be brought to the valley. She believes in Miranda's abilities as she has seen them work before.Miranda is infuriated when Denver police awaken her at 4 a.m. escorting her to Del Norte. She is not amused when she learns Lobato is behind it, and perplexed as she is aware of the legend as well. Sergeant Don Forest is there to meet her at the airport. She arrives by helicopter.Forest and Officer Mathews are irritated with Miranda. Their attitudes toward her are obvious. Mathews is further irritated with Lobato in charge.Lobato and Miranda visit crime locations where Miranda's psychic senses warn of a killer with no remorse, hooked on death. She senses it in each location with the exception when she and Lobato encounter a weeping, haunting vision clothed in Mexican, white lace in a mist along the river. From this vision Miranda senses no hostility, only a deep sadness-unlike what she feels at the scenes of bloodshed.Lobato's anticipation grows with each victim and visions Miranda is having at each crime scene. Not even Forensics is able to find evidence. At each crime scene the only thing to be found are mangled bodies. She and Miranda set up camp in crime scenes in hopes of finding something, or something finding them.FBI agent Ron Jacksen arrives certain to close the case within twenty-four hours. His mind is quickly changed the more he learns of the case. He is attracted to Miranda. He, Lobato and Miranda begin their quest.Father Henry Luna has issues with Lobato's choices when he meets her, Jacksen and Miranda. He has strong opinions of Miranda and the likes of her. He resides on the other side of the river where Montoya was killed. He too, is lured to the river where he is torn to pieces and later found by Julia who works with him at the church. It is later learned Luna has dark skeletons in his closet-one being his molestation and affair with Sofia's grandson and knowing who killed him, yet refusing to speak up.Miranda's senses warn her of the situation with Vigil, and convinces Lobato and Jacksen to follow her lead. They come across White Justice in their march of doom around Vigil. In the midst of a gun battle four White Justice members are killed and Miranda is wounded. Steve Miller, known as The Dragon escapes with three others and later found almost dead. He has nearly drowned. White Justice is an organization of many secrets and levels of intelligence.

Book Description
La Llorona (The Crying Woman) is a sad and haunting tale from Mexico. Parents have told the story for hundreds of years to misbehaving children and to guard against vanity. Some say the story is about Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and a native Mexican woman who served as his translator. Her loss can be compared to the loss of native Mexican culture after the Spanish conquest.

Book Description
"How is it that there are so many lloronas?" A haunting figure of Mexican oral and literary traditions, La Llorona permeates the consciousness of her folk community. From a ghost who haunts the riverbank to a murderous mother condemned to wander the earth after killing her own children in an act of revenge or grief, the Weeping Woman has evolved within Chican@ imaginations across centuries, yet no truly comprehensive examination of her impact existed until now. Tracing La Llorona from ancient oral tradition to her appearance in contemporary material culture, There Was a Woman delves into the intriguing transformations of this provocative icon. From La Llorona's roots in legend to the revisions of her story and her exaltation as a symbol of resistance, Domino Renee Perez illuminates her many permutations as seductress, hag, demon, or pitiful woman. Perez draws on more than two hundred artifacts to provide vivid representations of the ways in which these perceived identities are woven from abstract notions—such as morality or nationalism—and from concrete, often misunderstood concepts from advertising to television and literature. The result is a rich and intricate survey of a powerful figure who continues to be reconfigured.
