Everyone is looking for Chano Salgado...High-flying corporate PR executive Evan Hatch is dying. Dying not of the rich man's illness, but of chagas, a beetle-borne disease endemic to Latin America. Desperate for a cure, Evan travels to Mexico in search of the bone-marrow tissue match that only the brother he has never met can provide. Police and soldiers across Tamaulipas, Mexico's north-eastern state, are hunting Chano Salgado. A reclusive young widower and political apostate, Salgado's work sterilizing bottles in a tiny, smoky shack comes to an end when he is persuaded to blow up the pipelines of Ethylclad, a hazchem sluicing operation sucking the local groundwater dry, and he's forced to go on the run. Meanwhile, impoverished teenager Daniel Salgado boards a Costa Rican fishing smack in search of his long-lost father, knowing only the name of the Mexican village where he was born.
