If
anybody wondered why star journalist Mundo Carrasco would stop investigating
Mazatlan's drug lords and politicos in order to run the shady new puppet
mayor's press relations, then they had never been to bed with the scorching,
amoral, monumental Mijares. Mazatlan's huge, blaring Carnival became
the greatest time Mundo had lived since his days as a local baseball
hero: access to the real power and closeted skeletons, a political future
of his own, and...mostly...the perfect flesh of Mijares.
Then
the mayor beats up his wife, the city government starts to unravel into
scandal and panic, and they start killing people--with Mundo right up
there on their list. Tumbling through the tumult of Carnival, mob violence,
narco suites and wretched bulldozed hovels, musical mayhem, his own
corruption, and three women who want to reclaim his soul for his own
good and their own purposes, Mundo is either sorting himself out or
getting totally mixed up...if he comes out of it with his damaged scruples
and bruised hide intact.
