A delightful fantasy of friendship and mystery in a setting reminiscent of Latin America, by a fresh new talent.La Bene is a city poised on the edge of change, where automobiles mingle with horse-drawn trolleys and musicians rub shoulders with politicians in trendy cabarets. Every day brings new magical machines, new immigrants ... and a new mystery to solve. Detectives Rocío Díaz Rossi and Hala Haddad Sosa have investigated many crimes together, and Rocío''s intuition and Hala''s logic make them ideal partners. But this time they''re baffled by a newly discovered crypt in the subway, a missing choreographer, and reports of impossible magic. As the clues pile up, they discover that they''re not working any ordinary kidnapping. Something darker and more sinister is taking root in the city, perhaps the return of a magic so destructive that no one dares to speak of it. If their suspicions are correct, they will have to face an opponent who threatens not only their commitment to justice, but everyone living in their beloved city.

The blazing desert sun in Trader Town exposes secrets, but not Malenie's. She always obeys Papa's one rule: never let anyone see the blue diamonds inscribed on her skin. But when a stranger comes to town hunting secrets, Malenie is his target. To escape, Malenie slips through the mysterious wall in the desert that only she can see. On the other side, everything is different, especially the diamonds on her skin. They are a sign of magic that fulfills the wishes of anyone who touches her and they make her even more of a target. To protect herself, Malenie entrusts her magic to a street thief, but the thief has secrets and enemies of her own. To survive, Malenie must expose every secret she can find, even if it risks her life, her Papa, her new friendship and maybe even her town. The Desert Wall is the first book in a new series about friendship, families and magic.
