Mezcalero

Bicultural and transgender, detective Ernesto S�nchez fled liberal Canada for his native Mexico not so much out of shame but out of a burning need to make sense of his life. With the help of his narco father's connections, he has a PI license, a twilight existence tracking down errant husbands and missing persons. When his mother prevails upon him to help find a missing gringa, the search is not so much for the missing girl as it is for Ernesto himself: a trip that will find him slogging through the resort towns of the Mexican Pacific, the hills of Guerrero, the back streets of Mexico City, guerrilla territory and into the mysteries of identity and gender.
