A prodigal bastard searching for his missing father, a Catholic bishop, instead finds his mother managing the only hotel in the Mexican town with no name, where nothing is as it seems, every day is the Day of the Dead, and the cathedral bells toll 13 at midnight. Even the Police chief has fled following the discovery of a mass grave under the bandstand in the main square, and the only safe place in town is the local cantina, where the barman is the narco-cartel banker. Based on the author’s real-life experiences in the remote Sierra Madre of Mexico, A Prodigal Bastard is the first book of the Escape From Mictlan Trilogy. The novel is illustrated with
drawings by the Author, many of which are from the year he spent trying to escape from the Town with no name.
