Publisher's Synopsis
"Fernando Granados is a university professor in financial trouble when a boyhood friend he hasn't seen in thirty years reenters his life. Memo Galindo, now part of a notorious Mexican cartel, soon persuades Fernando to build a meth lab on his country property, just outside the ancient town of Remedios. Fernando's strong-willed wife Sandra and their beloved 18-year-old son Félix each fall under Memo's charismatic spell. The cascading family crisis plays out on a larger stage, from its roots in Guatemala's civil war in the '80s to corruption in the Guatemalan army and American DEA, in a country where even. the forces of nature wreak vengeance."--Back cover.
