The Concrete Maze. This is the latest book of my friend mystery writer Steven Torres, a boricua. He is author of the Puerto Rico Precinct series and is now promoting his newest book.

PRSUN TV will rebroadcast an interview with Torres, starting at 3:30 p.m. Mondays on Channel 69, Bronxnet, the Bronx. There will be plenty of opportunity to see the show since PRSUN TV repeats on Tuesdays and Thursdays too.

Torres, who grew up in the Bronx and now lives in Connecticut, will come to Cemi Underground in East Harlem in early September to promote his latest book, which features the Bronx as the setting. Go to www.myspace.com/prsun for more information or go directly to www.cemiunderground.com.

Here's the description as listed in the back of the book:

"The Bronx can be a tough place. And Luis Ramos can tell you it's even tougher to raise a daughter there. How can he keep her safe when every street leads to a new threat, an unseen danger? Now his daughter, Jasmine, is missing, and Luis will stop at nothing to get her back. He's a desperate man, willing to do whatever it takes to find her in the endless maze of the city. Nothing -- and no one -- will stand in his way. Whoever took Jasmine is about to find out just how tough the Bronx can get."
