Peter Pike and the Sinister Saint - Paperback
by Neal W. Fandek (Author)
Ho, ho, ho! Who doesn't love a gift from Santa?
Santa Muerte that is. The very old, very new Mexican saint of death who's replaced the Virgin Mary for a good chunk of the Meso-American population. A suddenly responsible Pike takes a break from domesticity to visit an old Guard buddy in Mexico City. Pike and Greta, his librarian-fiancée, own a house. He has a good job. Greta is pregnant. But Tom in Mexico has gotten himself mixed up with strange folks with strange beliefs and stranger drugs promising eternal life, throwing Pike in the mix as well. Then narcotraficantes track Pike back to St. Baarlam, Illinois. Now Pike and Greta must save themselves from Mexican and American drug cartels, Santa M. worshippers, and worst of all, Loca Cola executives. Will Pike's and Greta's relationship survive? Will Sisyphus, the giant, blind Ukrainian forest cat, come to the rescue again? Based on the growing cult of Santa Muerte, and beverage conglomerates' relentless push to "wellness" beverages.
