American Visa

Author(s): Juan de Recacoechea

Location(s): Bolivia

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Contemporary

Armed with fake papers, a handful of gold nuggets and a snazzy custom-made suit, an unemployed schoolteacher with a singular passion for detective fiction sets out from small-town Bolivia on a desperate quest for an American visa – his best hope for escaping his painful past and reuniting with his grown son in Miami.

“American Visa is beautifully written, atmospheric, and stylish in the manner of Chandler … a smart, exotic crime fiction offering.” – George Pelecanos, author
