When a suspicious gas leak blows up his favorite doughnut shop, a retired American expat bumbles into a mystery in Mexico.

Kirkus Reviews chose OAXACA CHOCOLATE to be featured as one of Kirkus' Indie Books of the Month."The city of Oaxaca, lively, dark and under threat, plays a starring role in this satisfying mystery." -- Kirkus Reviews"Kerns' second Santo Gordo mystery is even tastier than the first. It's a cup that runs over with Oaxaca's unique local color--I don't know anyone who captures the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Oaxaca more vividly or insightfully than Kerns. Santo Gordo, gourmand, local hero and reluctant detective, is a shrewd observer of this exotic locale and its cast of characters." Robert Adler, co-author of the best-selling Oaxaca guidebook, Viva Oaxaca. Don't forget the other Santo Gordo mysteries--Santo Gordo: a Killing in Oaxaca and Restaurante Oaxaca.
