Pearl: a New Chapter in an Old Story Joseph E. Scalia

Lucio is a pearl fisherman in La Paz, Mexico. Like the others in the village, he has heard the stories of his grandfather Kino and how he found and lost "The Pearl of the World." Now, nearly a century after his grandfather Kino's ordeal, little has changed in the Mexican town, and less for Lucio. Life has been hard for him, that is, until Luck rewards him with a great pearl of his own, and then it becomes unbearable. Lucio's pearl seems to unleash the evil lying always just beneath the surface in La Paz, and when it does, Lucio must confront the danger or lose everything that he loves.
