this summer that you don’t want to miss!
Barry A. Brissenden: Local author Barry A. Brissenden proudly presents the lauch of his new book, Pray for the Condor. The debut novel is now for sale at www.lulu.com. Synopsis: Desperate for money during the 1990′s recession, Robert Cordeiro journeys to Peru only to be incarcerated in Peru’s worst prison. Awaiting trial in a judicial system worthy of Kafka, he turns his life around through medicine. He becomes a doctor to the prisoners, only to be swept into the world of the Shining Path terrorists who stage an armed revolt in the prison. Will he survive? Ask the condor. At the end of the novel, you’ll be asking yourself one question-did this really happen? ($31) (www.lulu.com/product/paperback/pray-for-the-condor/15662792).
