Description

A suspenseful and provocative literary debut, set in Chicago and Puerto Escondido, a small Mexican beach town 150 miles south of Acapulco. On vacation in Escondido, Roman Pearson and his girlfriend become involved in a cultural conflict between the local Indians and baby-boomer hippies from the U.S. who have overrun the town. As Roman struggles to find the courage to promote a more respectful coexistence between two divergent communities, the story deftly explores the ever increasing conflict between the hedonistic 'haves' and the opportunistic 'have nots' of this world.

Reviews

"An important book, a universal story. Shiflett brilliantly melds literary concerns with page turning suspense. The result is an absolute knockout."
-- Don De Grazia, author of" American Skin"
