Book
The queen of the cicadas : la reina de las chicharras / V. Castro.
"When Belinda Alvarez returned to Texas for a friend's wedding, she didn't know it would be at the site of the urban legend of La Reina de Las Chicharras -- The Queen of The Cicadas. In life she was known as Milagros, a young farmworker who left her home in Mexico for the US in the 1950s to find work, only to be cruelly abused and horribly murdered. The town ignored the brutal crime, but the Aztec goddess of death heard her cries and allowed her to return to the land of living to exact her terrible vengeance. Now, decades later, as Belinda learns the truth about Milagros, she realizes the legend is all too real...and she herself will soon play an important part in it."-- inside cover
