Remember sleeping through that part of American history when the Spanish conquistadors invaded Mexico and defeated the Aztec Indians? Well they did and lotsa people south from of our boarder, many of whom are now living here legally and illegally, recall the event. It is viewed as the loss of a bloody but magnificent indigenous culture wasted by uninvited European invaders.
Taxi and Bun find themselves drawn in to another adventure when a descendant of Hernando de Cortes asks them to prevent him being ritually murdered and eaten in a cannibal “Feast of Cortes’ by followers of a Neo-Aztec cultural movement. Layers upon layers of deceit and political manipulations are involved in the business. Thanks to unexpected involvement from Gordo and the Tracker brothers from previous adventures the pace is fast and scenes shift widely. Taxi and Bun hob nob in a Fifth Avenue penthouse, rub elbows with street hustlers in Chelsea and delve the very pits of slaughter house floors and a killer’s den across the 59th Street Bridge on Long Island. Taxi and Bun find themselves getting involved saving the lives of men and beasts and getting off-tracked into the case of a New York version of Jack-the-Ripper who is murdering young Latina street hookers.
