The Long Way to Mexico - Paperback

by Roger Rodriguez (Author)

The Long Way to Mexico by Roger Rodriguez is a contemporary Western/Suspense Thriller filled with irony and mystery. Peter "Boy" Jenkins has a very bad temper. It does not take much to get him into a raging bad mood, so when his girlfriend Mary Beth dies after he slaps her, he's sure he is responsible for her death. "Boy" is obviously not as tough as his reputation and he doesn't think he'll survive life behind bars. With his best friend and only supporter Curtis Cash at his side, the pair of misfits go on the run to Mexico, but they encounter much more than an escape route. The two men totally expected to come across beautiful se oritas and strong margaritas along the way, but instead they are met with illegal immigration camps, suspicious state troopers, ruthless drug cartels, witch doctors, and even valuable treasures. But was all of this worth it? The ironic ending just may leave readers wonder if it truly was.
