The Hidden Light of Mexico City
Listing Details
As presidential elections near, Mexico City attorney Eduardo Cortez Castillo uncovers a scheme between a powerful government official and Mexico's most dangerous drug cartel.
Coded messages . . . A secret website . . . Clever money laundering.
The conclusion is terrifying. With deep state help, a ruthless druglord is poised to buy Mexico’s presidency.
As he digs for evidence and violence spills across the US-Mexican border, Eduardo is marked for death by cartel assassins. Instead of abandoning the dangerous investigation, he follows the money trail deep into drug smuggling territory where violence buys loyalty and the odds are against survival.
Back in Mexico City, a woman whose name means Light of Mary faces a painful choice. Wait for Eduardo or join the immigration caravan to El Norte?
But the cartel is looking for her, too.
