Book Details
About the Book
The Mexican
Mafia had just lost the protector they had in the highest echelons of the
government. Dr. Juárez could whisper in the right ears, put a good word
wherever necessary, grease the right palms, even threaten on occasions, in
order to cover up for the Mafia's corrupt operations. He had just died in the
arms of one of his lovers. He had to be replaced.
The head of
the organization had made up his mind that General Carranza should be the man
who would be the best replacement for Juarez. To the delegates present at
the meeting, that seemed an impossible task. Carranza was a model of virtue.
He was patriotic to the core, a practicing Catholic, a family man, a
moral straightlaced soul from way back. How could he be made to accept
and cooperate with the illegal and immoral deeds of the Mafia? The don
was given one year, 365 days, to accomplish this feat.
The answer: YOLANDA
How does the head of the Mafia convinces her to cooperate?
Does she realize the mess she is getting into?
Does she remain loyal to the cause?
Does she fall in love with the General?
Does the married and ever faithful General fall for her?
Does he finally accept the Mafia's contract?
