<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When Blanche "Bang" Murninghan visits an exhibit of ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico City, she sees that all is not ancient. One of the mummies has a pink hair clip embedded in its hay-like do, and the texture of the skin is not quite right. Blanche, a part-time journalist, starts to dig for some answers and gets tangled in the mystery of the mummy at the Palacio Nacional. Her cousin and traveling companion, Haasi Hakla, aids and abets--and puts the reins on Blanche. All the while, the two eat and drink their way across the city, following one hunch after another with a cast of colorful characters that include a prescient elderly <i>chilanga</i>, an amiable overworked detective, and a stunning doctor of shady deeds. The cousins are willing to risk kidnapping and attempted murder to get at the truth--but first, Blanche stops for another excellent beer and Haasi delights in one more <i>taco al pastor</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Nancy Nau Sullivan </b>invented the life and times--and island--of Blanche Murninghan after returning to Anna Maria Island, Florida, the setting of her award-winning memoir, <i>The Last Cadillac</i>. Blanche and Nancy both have the travel bug, and the new series reflects that penchant for international settings. A former newspaper journalist, Nancy later taught English in Argentina, in the Peace Corps in Mexico, and at a boys' prison in Florida. She lives in Northwest Indiana and, often, anywhere near water.
