Under the relentless blaze of a South American sun, seasoned outlaw Michiko Malandro escapes a maximum‑security facility for the fourth time, driven by a longing to find a man from her past. She discovers a lead in Hana Morenos, a young girl crushed beneath the blows of an abusive foster household. In her helplessness, Hana dreams of a day when she will be rescued from her captors by her own Prince Charming. Unbeknownst to her, that destined prince will be a stout and robust convict who storms in on a hijacked motorcycle, declaring himself her mother.
The improbable pair pursue their aspirations across the sun‑baked terrain of Diamandra, wading through a maelstrom of treachery, destitution, and hidden child‑trafficking rings. Yet word of Michiko"s hunt soon reaches the ears of the criminal cartel Monstro Preto, and a clash of gangs begins to loom on the horizon…
Michiko to Hatchin chronicles vibrant characters and their conflicting motives, as well as the improbable bonds forged around a single elusive figure.
