The Squeeze

“The extortionist was a prolific liar until someone murdered her in her own car and in her own driveway. Unravelling that mess leads to an ever growing list of suspects and sadness for a little girl who called her mother. The investigation also leads to an attempt on Dela’s life and frustration with everything. Everything includes learning that her mother has had a significant other for a number of years and is now planning to remarry! And Dela has clues to her father’s identity despite his being totally shunned by the entire reservation family. Excellent and very riveting read!” — Jan Tangen

“Each book Paty writes is a fascinating story of betrayal and dedication of the law enforcement and security personnel who work together to solve the crimes. Dela Alvaro, a Native American disabled veteran, is an inspirational role model for everyone but especially for all girls. This book is a sensitive portrayal of child trafficking and the horror that happens within families. Thank you, Paty Jager for another memorable story I will remember for many years.”  —owner of …And Books, Too! bookstore, Clarkston, WA
