When a suspicious gas leak blows up his favorite doughnut shop, a retired American expat bumbles into a mystery in Mexico. He follows money flowing down from the States, cocoa beans going north, and finds some tasty foodie hangouts to help him start his days on the prowl.OAXACA CHOCOLATE is a cross-border mystery, a travel guide, an expat's struggle with multinational takeovers in a corrupt state, a scammer's lament, and a taste of the comida and mezcal in Mexico's most beautiful colonial city located high in its scenic, southern mountains. the perfect book for a Mexico visit to meet its gracious people and to explore warm-sun living with a helping of crime on the side. Kirkus Reviews chose OAXACA CHOCOLATE to be featured as one of Kirkus' Indie Books of the Month.The city of Oaxaca, lively, dark and under threat, plays a starring role in this satisfying mystery. -- Kirkus ReviewsKerns' second Santo Gordo mystery is even tastier than the first. It's a cup that runs over with Oaxaca's unique local color--I don't know anyone who captures the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Oaxaca more vividly or insightfully than Kerns. Santo Gordo, gourmand, local hero and reluctant detective, is a shrewd observer of this exotic locale and its cast of characters. Robert Adler, co-author of the best-selling Oaxaca guidebook, Viva Oaxaca. Don't forget the other Santo Gordo mysteries--Santo Gordo: a Killing in Oaxaca and Restaurante Oaxaca.
