The Manhattan pickpocket Carlton James has come to Guatemala to relax and reform. Alas, he can't help himself: He soon begins to steal the wallets, purses, cameras and other valuables of the international tourists who visit Panajachel, a beautiful lakeside town under volcanoes. One night, he is caught in the act -- by his maid, Rosario, whose history is as murky and tragic as her country's. Initially wary of Rosario, Carlton soon finds himself inexplicably drawn to her.Meanwhile, to catch the thief who threatens local tourism, the police department calls in Ramiro Caal, a detective who proved entirely too successful in solving his last case (evidence in a murder pointed to a high-ranking American official). Retired to his farm, Ramiro has no choice but to accept his latest assignment, and is assisted by his American friend, Ed Shell, a Peace Corps volunteer.In a country where justice is a relative term -- where stealing also applies to indigenous culture and language -- neither Ramiro nor Ed feels comfortable with the task at hand.
