Publisher Marketing: BUTTERFLY KISSES: A Story of Flight and Redemption... Uncle Joe trains his cadre in warrior skills and warrior virtues. His clients have ways, means, and the occasional nagging problem. Discreet and effective, Joe's reputation for resolving those problems is unparalleled. Joe is content. Joe's clients are content... Until Mari, Joe's star pupil, trashes a client's border factory in Juarez. Leaving devastation in her wake, she then heads south. Joe means to have her back. His client means to have compensation. Things come to a head in Mexico City, the world leader in urban eccentricity. This is a novel of international intrigue like no other. Owls take vermin by night in the metropolis; Monarch butterflies cluster on the sides of nearby volcanoes; and the human drama plays out as Mari struggles to shake free of forces that mass against her.
