Corazon — Stephen Brown

The much awaited Book Three of the increasingly bizarre Cripplesby Diaries Trilogy! Geeza Vermies, Shamanic Detective, is hot on the heels of a gang of poachers. Bumping into his old friend Elliot in the Caribbean, they join forces and follow the trail to Mexico, but their investigation quickly uncovers a far deeper plot, and once again they find themselves in a race against time to save the world! Meanwhile Father Sadfael, the bumbling Benedictine monk makes a return as he also finds himself in Mexico, sent to stop a vitriolic campaign of destruction being carried out against the entire Christian Church. But who are the sinister figures orchestrating their deadly schemes from the shadows of the jungle? And could a rogue vicar burning down churches have any connection to a plot to bring back the bloodthirsty Gods of the Americas? If so, what can anybody do to stop it? Not a lot really - not when you don't know what it is that's supposed to happen, who's going to do it or where it's going to take place! And especially when you're up against a Jaguar-Priest of exceptional power, not to mention the small matter of the Aztec Gods themselves…
