386 pages ; 24 cm. "Lydia Quixano Perez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist ... Even though she knows they'll never sell, Lydia stocks some of her all-time favorite books in her store. And then one day a man enters the shop to browse and comes up to the register with four books he would like to buy--two of them her favorites. Javier is erudite. He is charming. And, unbeknownst to Lydia, he is the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city. When Lydia's husband's tell-all profile of Javier is published, none of their lives will ever be the same"-- Jeanine Cummins. n-mx--- n-us--- Drug traffic Mexico Fiction Organized crime Mexico Fiction Immigrants Mexican-American Border Region Fiction PS3603.U663 A64 2020 813/.6 9781250209764 2019036052 DLC 190816 20200318145845.0 1097575695 eng
