Story4 out of 5 stars 83
My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

At the local state university, two feuding departments have faced off on the battleground of science and medicine.

Erin McKenna, a beautiful songwriter married to a crooked Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, is kidnapped by Benjamin Armenta, the ruthless leader of the powerful Gulf Cartel. But his demands are as unusual as the crumbling castle in which Erin is kept. She is ordered to compose a unique narcocorrido, a folk ballad that records the exploits of the drug dealers, gunrunners, and outlaws who have populated Mexican history for generations. Under the threat of death, Armenta orders Erin to tell his life story - in music - and write “the greatest narcocorrido of all time.”

Bad, bad, bad...
Falling somewhere between a soap opera and a romance novel, this book left me cold. I don't know if I really didn't care about any of the characters, or if I just plain disliked them. High on my list of unlikable, shallow, cheesy characters was Annie who spent a lot of energy rationalizing (through her diary) her duplicitous behavior in flowery, over-the-top bullshit yammering about how wonderful a person she was - how she deserved forgiveness and understanding, yada, yada, yada. I found myself thinking whoever offed her did the world and her family and friends a favor. Had she admitted to herself and the reader that she just wanted to get laid and hang out with the rich and powerful, I might have liked her better. So...most of the characters were cookie cutter, one dimensional, boring, people. The plot was convoluted and in the end silly. I am giving up on T J Parker. I listened to the end - I don't know how I did it.
