This work of fiction, set in 1982, foreshadows by a decade the violent indigenous uprisings in the State of Chiapas, Mexico, and the drug cartel and weapons wars of today. A college professor dies under suspicious circumstances. A day later, a colleague receives a mysterious package from him by mail. In a nearby town, a struggling attorney is offered a flight to Mexico and a substantial cash retainer to file a lawsuit of dubious merit. Thus begins the story of three young Americans who find themselves unwittingly drawn into the maelstrom of Presidential politics in Mexico as the Tarascan Indian people try to break the stranglehold of the conservative PRI party. Psychologist Dr. Jeff Rivers and Archaeologist Shimoko Johanson, in search of an ancient Tarascan treasure, and attorney Jed LeBaron, a pawn in a sinister political game, are thrown together in the lava tubes beneath the re-awakening Paricutin volcano, the headquarters of the shadowy leader of the secretive Ninos del Tecolote.
