'Go back to Gringolandia, muchacho, or next time we steal the family jewels.' Ordered by the powers who control him to undertake this perilous mission, what is Virgil to do?Virgil Quinn finds himself at loose ends. His battles with the Cardinal of New York are behind him. Mary Ellen, his beloved mate of many years, has passed on to her just reward. A visit to Omaha, his home town, tells him that a man can’t go home again. Where then? What to do with his life? Reform of course. It’s all he knows, and he converts an old Dodge van into a mini-RV and takes to the road to rectify the evils he is sure to find along the way. First to Griswald, a desolate oil town held in permanent bondage by absentee billionaires. On to Luchaloca where he is caught up in a murderous dynastic struggle dating back to the days of Billy the Kid, a struggle that proves to be not what it appears. A visit by the deceased nun Sister Philomena, his lifelong mentor, sends him south on a mission far more dangerous than any he has faced in the past. Telling himself that his battles with the powerful Cardinal of New York have prepared him for the worst to come, he crosses the border into Mexico on a mission that history tells him could put him before a firing squad. Crooks and hypocrites, killers and parasites, oligarchs and churchmen, Virgil must do battle with them all-and survive to write about it.
