Louis De Bernières

A philosopher living in a society governed by the supernatural and warped by the drug trade is driven to colossal revenge when the drug lords he was exposing in the press harm his loved ones

Señor Vivo and the Coca Lord

Surreal, bizarre and compelling. I really enjoyed it. 

Steve Collins

Dionisio Vivo, a young South American lecturer in philosophy, leads a charmed life in a world where the supernatural is routine. He is insulated from attacks by the local coca lord's hit-men, by a sense of justice and pig-headed integrity.
