      When wealth manager Rex Reynold's yacht was sunk by a Russian submarine, he lost his young son at sea, and his wife suffered a brain injury. The FBI, intent on concealing the Russian involvement, coerced Rex into accepting a false narrative that he was drunk and crashed the yacht. This event irrevocably altered Rex's life; his wife, suffering from amnesia, blamed him for their son's death, eventually leaving him for an Episcopal minister. Seeking solace, Rex found himself at Mexico's top-rated psychedelic spa, leading him to a small village where he met Reynaldo, a young beggar. Through Reynaldo, Rex learned about his troubled family background, including a mother labeled a puta, an aunt who might be a bruja, and an American scientist father. As Rex helped Reynaldo and investigated a Ponzi scheme, he inadvertently uncovered the true activities of the Russian submarine off California's coast. The novel artfully combines humor with serious themes of loss, featuring quirky characters and witty dialogue. It transcends typical genre conventions, offering a rich narrative that engages thoughtful readers who appreciate depth alongside entertainment. If you enjoy stories that evoke laughter and tears while keeping you on the edge of your seat, this book is for you.
