Death In Mexico

Hemingway First Novel Award winner. The sensual mystery of a son's compulsive search for his father's bones-a quest that draws him into an exotic Mexican underworld of sex, mysticism, drugs and sudden violence. Vibrant yet darkly poignant, this gritty tale exposes the simmering passions-fired by jealousy, vengeance, lust and greed-when Anglo and Hispanic cultures clash.
