New York, NY (Vocus) December 9, 2010

Author Orlando N. Gomez releases the Spanish-language novel Carlos, Asesino de Crimen o Usurpador de la Ley (published by AuthorHouse).

In an astonishing tale of triumph over adversity, Carlos, Asesino de Crimen o Usurpador de la Ley tells the story of Petra Luna, a single mother raising her son Mico amidst the drug and sex-trafficking streets of the Dominican Republic. When Petra is murdered, Mico, educated at one of the best schools on the island, vows to overturn the violent streets of his country. With his street-wise cousin, Carlos, by his side, Mico dives into the island’s murky underground political movement in hopes of rising as the people’s new president.

“The conventional rules are completely convoluted and broken,” Gomez says of the world his protagonists find themselves. “Therefore they need to find a way to restore order and peace by eradicating the impunity, controlling or eradicating the organize crime activity and educating the people. Carlos knows that in order to reach such a goal, many people will have to be killed.”

A riveting political thriller, Carlos, Asesino de Crimen o Usurpador de la Ley brings the vivacity of the Dominican Republic to life and offers a unique discourse of the realities of organized crime, government corruption, drug trade and human trafficking occurring in Latin America.
