Book Blurb: “In the midst of a murder investigation, Professor Ilan Stavans arrives in Santa Fe to give a lecture about the area’s long-buried Jewish history. He’s looking forward to relaxing afterwards with an evening of opera, but his presentation on “crypto-Jews” attracts unexpected attention, and soon Ilan is drawn into a desperate race to find the long-lost documents that might hold the key to Rolando’s death. Ilan’s detective work leads him to taco joints, desert ranches, soaring cathedrals, and, finally, deep into the region’s past, where he encounters another young man: Luis de Carvajal, aka “El Iluminado,” a sixteenth-century religious dissenter. In a tale of martyrdom that eerily echoes Rolando’s, Carvajal fled Spain for colonial Mexico at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, searching for his religious heritage—a hunt for which he, like Rolando, would pay the ultimate price.”

Not his dialect, of course, but many of them.
Somehow, Sean always knew this was how their Cheerleading Gymnastics Team would end.
If the high fall or jagged rocks don’t get you, then the giant Aquatic Cookie Monster certainly will.
Evil alien overlords or not, Erik the Red would not miss a single episode of his soaps.
