A thriller driven by history
A methodical investigation through colonial interiors, pre-Columbian echoes, and the friction of modern life—paced for tension, built for escalation.
San Miguel de Allende—birthplace of the Mexican Revolution—glows with color, craft, and high-desert light. Beneath that radiance, a ritualistic killer begins staging murders designed to reopen old wounds.
A crucified matador. A Jesuit burned and marked. Revolutionary symbols used as signatures. Retired tech millionaire Jack Alexander is pulled into the case because he knows the terrain—expat and Mexican, public and hidden—and the city needs someone who can move between worlds.
The investigation threads through cathedrals, courtyards, alleyways, and historical sites—where the colonial walls that once protected the city now conceal what people don’t want seen.
