Sunstroke

Gloria Mendez, a 36-year-old secretary at a Los Angeles novelty item import business is in love with her boss, Carl Perreira, though he has never reciprocated her romantic interest. Carl has gone on his annual vacation, and after leaving a garbled phone message on Gloria's answering machine, he disappears into Mexico's backcountry. Facing apathy from the police in Mexico and the U.S. even after Carl is reported dead in a fiery car crash Gloria heads south to retrieve his body. She soon finds herself enmeshed in a dangerous adventure hinging on the mystery of Carl's death (if he is indeed really dead), his real identity and the truthfulness of the young man who introduces himself as Carlos Perreira, Carl's son abandoned many years earlier.

  • "When Carl, the boss she has secretly loved for years, goes missing during his annual visit to Mexico, Gloria Mendez begins a search for answers that reveals hidden, sinister aspects of her employer's life."
  • "Gloria Mendez is single and thirty-six, and secretly and somewhat hopelessly in love with her oblivious boss. When he disappears on his annual trip to Mexico, Gloria's sudden and impulsive search for him reveals the wreckage of a hidden past. Carl Perreira was not who Gloria thought he was, nor was he anything she could have imagined. As Gloria travels this twisted road into Carl's backstory, she realizes she might not have known him at all. Her investigation discloses as much about her own life as it does about her mysterious boss and leaves her fighting for her life."
  • "Gloria Mendez is 36, single and hopelessly in love with her boss. After a childhood marred by tragedy and a failed marriage, she believes that Carl Perreira can provide everything she's always wanted: stability, children, happiness.So when he disappears whilst on holiday in Mexico, it's Gloria who leaps into action, tracing his final phone call to a hellish ghost town run by a sleazy cop. Distraught and restless, she travels to Mexico to try to make sense of his death. But what she discovers about the man she loved shocks her to the core. Nothing about him was as it seemed - from his business interests, to his family background, to his very identity. And the more she discovers about Carl, the closer Gloria comes to the dark forces that claimed her boss's life - and now threaten her own."@en
