Hidden Place

A suspenseful and provocative literary debut, set in Chicago and Puerto Escondido, a small Mexican beach town 150 miles south of Acapulco. On vacation in Escondido, Roman Pearson and his girlfriend become involved in a cultural conflict between the local Indians and baby-boomer hippies from the U.S. who have overrun the town. As Roman struggles to find the courage to promote a more respectful coexistence between two divergent communities, the story deftly explores the ever increasing conflict between the hedonistic ‘haves’ and the opportunistic ‘have nots’ of this world.
