Kenneth L. Wooten signs BLACKBERRIES at the Power House


A naive twenty-five year old university graduate student suspected of the murder of his college professor travels through the most beautiful and ancient of Mexican civilizations, tracking the largest and most expensive emerald ever found. Completely unaware, he becomes a decoy for those seeking to establish possession of the precious gem, including Columbian drug lords and other murderous characters. Along the way, he makes love to his would-be assassin and to an angel with one breast.
