Make Her Look Dead

The body on the table is warm, and Maribel Ortiz knows it shouldn't be. Desperate to clear her dead father's debts, Maribel accepts a staggering commission from a reclusive mining dynasty in the mountains of Zacatecas: travel to their crumbling hacienda and prepare the family matriarch for a traditional nine-night vigil. But the corpse isn't decomposing—it's healing. And the family doesn't want Maribel to embalm the dead woman. They want her to make her look dead. Each night, as the vigil deepens, Maribel discovers that the price of her freedom may be her own body.
