This fast-paced mystery expands the ChupaCabra folklore into a metaphor that deals with the new powers inherent in science. In this second ChupaCabra mystery, Professor Rosa Medina has just arrived in Santa Fe where she meets Nadine, a mysterious sixteen-year-old who insists that the two of them travel to Roswell, New Mexico. Nadine is convinced that C-Force, a secret government agency, has decoded the DNA of ChupaCabra and an extraterrestrial. If the two genomes are combined, a new and horrific life form will be created. In this fast-paced mystery, Anaya expands the ChupaCabra folklore into a metaphor that deals with the new powers inherent in science. Is ChupaCabra a beast in Latino folktales, used to frighten children, or a lost species being manipulated by C-Force? Rosa's life hangs in the balance as she and her young accomplice try to find a way to stop C-Force before its mad scientists create a monster.

Rudolfo Anaya (1937-2020) was widely acclaimed as one of the founders of modern Chicano literature. He was a professor emeritus of English at the University of New Mexico and was best known for the classic Bless Me, Ultima.

"Anaya's latest opus is a thriller packed with suspense, drama and action, and it will grip you and keep you on edge from beginning to end." - La Herencia "Anaya manages to pack Latin-American folklore and religious imagery, a critique of U.S. border policy, and UFO mythology into an X-Files-ish sequel to The Curse of the ChupaCabra." - Rain Taxi "Great reading for young adults interested in science fiction." - REFORMA Newsletter
