Synopsis
Product Description Lucio is a pearl fisherman in La Paz, Mexico. Like the others in the village, he has heard the stories of his grandfather Kino and how he found and lost "The Pearl of the World." Now, nearly a century after his grandfather Kino's ordeal, little has changed in the Mexican town, and less for Lucio. Life has been hard for him, that is, until Luck rewards him with a great pearl of his own, and then it becomes unbearable. Lucio's pearl seems to unleash the evil lying always just beneath the surface in La Paz, and when it does, Lucio must confront the danger or lose everything that he loves. About the Author Joseph E. Scalia taught English and Creative Writing for 33 years. Always a writer himself, he started by scribbling what he calls "terrible rhyming poems on bathroom walls." Over the years he has written three novels, a volume of short stories, countless humorous essays, and a filing cabinet full of poetry, much of which has found its way into print.Book Details
