Body and Blood Lia Scott Price Spanish edition

Body and Blood is set in the Philippines in the early 1980s amidst anti-government student riots. A student journalist, Claudia, is sent on a class assignment to cover the riots, and to reconnect with the country she was born in but never really knew. While in the city of Manila she meets Autumn, the wife of a drug lord, who leads a secret and dangerous life. Claudia is unwittingly drawn into Autumn's world, a dangerous one where drugs and jewelry are routinely smuggled in the ivory bodies of saints during religious festivities, and through Autumn's own body. Desperate to escape from an abusive husband, Autumn hopes to leave her dangerous circumstances behind and start a new life in the United States.
