Synopsis "maya sacrifice"

... artfully intertwines ancient Maya rites with modern-day Merida in a cliff-hanger as; sensuous as the tropical nights of Mexico's Yucatan. M. Kehoe This is the most fun I have had with a book about a place I live and things I know; Grant makes it fresh! L.G. Dallin Sad, tender, funny, suspenseful and informative; a page turner. J. Corneal Maya Sacrifi ce takes you from the ancient Maya city of Uxcob, to an archaeological dig in Guatemala, to modern day Mérida, Mexico; from a house boat in Key West, to a mansion in Cambridge, to Chichén Itza, and of course to a hacienda. Venus will not rise in the evening sky, the sun will not rise in the morning nor will the rains come unless a high priest sacrifi ce a youth the priest loves as his own son. A Thousand years later, near a sacred cenote, an ancient Maya vessel recounting the sacrifi ce is stolen. Seventy-six years later, the nephew of the thief drowns in the cenote. When he learns of the death of his beloved friend, a wealthy poet-opera librettist, Quincy Bruster, calls his friend David Ward, for help. They discover that the mansion in Massachusetts, the house boat in Florida and the home of the murdered man have all been victims of attempted and successful break-ins. Hackles of suspicion are raised and the pair of amateur detectives travel to Mexico to bring the murdered man's body home. In Mérida, entangled in bureaucracy, Quincy and David stumble across drug dealers, US Agents, venders of contraband pre-Columbian artefacts and the Merida gay life
