Xibalbá: Tras el Perdido Códice Maya

Xibalbá is a story of mystery and suspense, set in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Archaeologists David Wolf and Karen Dumas leave behind their comfortable lives to go in search of an unusual treasure: two Mayan codices which escaped destruction by the Spanish priest Diego Landa during the conquest. This new novel from Stanley Strubel has all the ingredients to become a publishing success. Mystery, suspense, excitement and great literary quality make this one of the best books of the year. The story takes us to 16th century Mexico, where Spanish bishop Diego Landa has ordered the systematic destruction of images relating to the Mayan religion. Only the Mayan holy man Caroco Rojo manages to flee from Chichén Itzá.
