Produktbeschreibung
Norm Cuddy's Return of the Jaguar is a geopolitical thriller with a dose of a love story. It is based on the factual account of the massacre of forty-five Mayan Indians (including fifteen children) on December 22, 1997, in a mountain village in Chiapas, Mexico. The enigmatic Subcomandante Marcos, the leader of the Zapatista rebels, claimed that government-sponsored paramilitaries were responsible for the attack. The story is set four years later, when Marcos is resurfacing, demanding freedom for the Mayans, more land to farm, equal justice, and autonomous political power. It tells the story of a young, damaged American woman who returns to Mexico seeking revenge for the massacre from which she managed to escape, then unwittingly becomes involved in a revolution for justice. Her journey becomes embroiled with Ted's, a lawyer from Vancouver, and the two become dangerously entangled in the violence of the opposing factions.
