Less than 48 hours later, the authorities decide to abandon all hope of finding survivors and seal up the mine entrance. Shortly after, a thirteenyear-old Mexican boy is discovered dead in the hotel room of a Canadian visitor – Mary Cyr, a 45-year-old heiress to a vast fortune

depths of a wealthy Canadian family whose ties to mining lead to the highest corridors of power
