Armed with fake papers, a handful of gold nuggets and a snazzy\ncustom-made suit, an unemployed schoolteacher with a singular\npassion for detective fiction sets out from small-town Bolivia on a\ndesperate quest for an American visa - his best hope for escaping\nhis painful past and reuniting with his grown son in Miami.\nAmerican Visa is beautifully written, atmospheric, and stylish in\nthe manner of Chandler … a smart, exotic crime fiction\noffering.
