Rafael Zepeda's "Desperados" has an enchanting and captivating cachet, cut from Zepeda's own Iberian legacy. It presents the reader with a zany romp through the hinterlands of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico and beyond. The story chronicles the son's quest for his nomadic, manic, half-crazed father--as the 21st Century resurrection of the legendary bandito Joaquin Murrieta, who was Mexico's Jesse James. Encountering a colorful array of characters along the way, "Desperados" is an arresting rendering of their adventures and escapades--a historical travelogue of conquest and surrender. --Beef Torrey, Co-Editor of "Jim Harrison: A Comprehensive Bibliography" and "Conversations With Hunter S. Thompson."
