Since she came to the United States from Cuba, she’s twice been convicted as an accomplice to a violent crime, and done two short stints in jail. The second time, her nerves went, and she vowed never to return.

To stay near her child, this three-time loser offers up the only thing she has left: information. Harlem has become a dangerous place to wear a badge.
