Chasing Butterflies
by Manuel Aguilera
Description
Chasing Butterflies is a thriller combining the suspense of a crime investigation with a mystery that takes readers back centuries to one of the darkest figures of Mexican history: Agustín de Iturbide, who liberated the young nation from the Spanish rule but then betrayed his own ideals and crowned himself Emperor. This is the story of three friends who meet again after a 20 years hiatus, and who see their lives crossing the path of a killer, a mystery involving a treasurer, and an unexpected hero.
