The Price of Passage

In this sequel to The Affairs of Men continues the saga of Will Rawlins, an American physician relentlessly pursued by the Mexican authorities for a murder he did not commit. Irresistably drawn to a beautiful but ambiguous young woman, Rawlins is flushed from his obscure refuge on Baja's Pacific coast by "Santo Muerte", an omnipotent drug lord who will stop at nothing to save his dying brother.

The vast waters that surround the narrow peninsula and the arid mesas therein serve as the canvas for this tale of passion, fidelity, violence and betrayal.
