This novel follows Domingo, a bounty hunter who hunts down undocumented criminals. He is one of the best and initially got hired by Leonard Reed to track down Monica, his illegitimate daughter, who came to America from the Philippines to get to know him but Leonard knew that her visa most likely expired and wanted her gone. Domingo had the easiest bounty but decided to let her go because she wasn’t a criminal in his eyes. He calls her the “multo” meaning ghost in tagalong. The book switches from the present to the past, so we get to see Domingo hunting down Monica the first time and second time when Monica’s dad needed a kidney transplant from Monica. In the present day, he was hired one last time to find Monica by Leonard’s wife, who wanted to reconcile and give her all her assets to Monica as her deathbed wish. Domingo hasn’t been lucky this time with finding Monica due to no one knowing what happened to her. What was meant to be a simple task of tracking her down turns out to be a missing person case and potentially something worse. It was a little hard to get into at the beginning, but I found it difficult to stop reading and needing to see Domingo solve this mystery. I did enjoy reading the different timelines and didn’t find it too difficult to keep up. I cannot wait to read the sequels! Thank you to Get Red PR for a copy of this book ✨

Thanks to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for this ebook ARC in return for my honest review.

Author Cindy Fazzi introduces us to Domingo the Bounty Hunter in the first book of her series and it was a marvelous read!! Domingo is a Filipino/America, a legal immigrant who works as a bounty hunter to corral illegal immigrants who have a warrant out for their deportation. But Domingo is a Bounty Hunter who has a heart and along the way he begins writing a book to teach immigrants the ropes of remaining in the US and the various legal ways to citizenship.
But he has met his match when he has to bring in Monica Reed who has overstayed her VISA; This story begins in 1998, shifts to 2008 and also to present day as Domingo is confronted by one of the easiest fugitives he has ever had to bring in, but who has also "escaped" twice. This is a story of a girl trying to find her family, and a man who is hired by that family to make sure she is deported and never returns. Author Cindy Fazzi is a fresh voice who captured me from page 1, and Domingo is a character who I really enjoyed. So happy there is a Book 2 coming and hopefully more in the future. How good is this book?? 5*****
