For one thing, Adams wife Priscila has fallen in love with the brash director of national securityalso named Adamwho uses violence against token victims to hide the fact that hes letting drug runners, murderers, and kidnappers go free. Another unlikely snake is the little Boy-God whos started preaching in the street wearing a white tunic and stick-on wings, inspiring Adams brother-in-law to give up his job writing soap operas to follow this junior deity and implore Adam to do the same. Even Elle, Adams mistress, thinks the boy is important to their salvationespecially now that it seems the other Adam has put out a contract on Adam Gorozpe. To save his relationship, his marriage, his life, and the soul of his country, perhaps Adam will indeed have to call upon the wrath of the angels to expel all these snakes from his Mexican Eden.
