Opis

In a country that keeps secrets and buries sins, a stranger learns the price of both.

In the remote Andean village of Colibri, a boy discovers what appears to be the body of an angel. But in the face and wounds of the dead, winged woman, Dr. Gregory Moreno sees something even more disturbing: an uncanny resemblance to his beloved late wife that cannot be mere chance. And in American anthropologist Sophie Lawson, still more echoes of the doctor s lost love stir igniting the superstitions of the townspeople, and an elusive killer s deepest desires and despair.

When Sophie vanishes, her son and Dr. Moreno must navigate the streets, politics, and mysteries of a place where tortured ghosts and strange omens exist side by side with mortals both devout and corrupt. But they may need nothing less than a miracle to save her from sacrifice at the altar of a madman s twisted passion.

Conjuring shades of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, or even Neil Gaiman, "Grave of Hummingbirds" is a mesmerizing novel of dreams and demons, beauty and blood.
