About this ebook
Victor suffered from bleeding ulcers and all the best doctors, that modern medicine produced, could not heal him. His assistant pleaded with him to visit a curandero. He was skeptical at first, but after a visit to Don Joaquin he realized that this type of healing could be the answer to his problem. However, Don Joaquin was not happy with Victor's self interest and condescending attitude so he decided to show Victor the darker side of his healing art.

It had been years since Victor stepped into a church or attended mass – hell, he hadn’t confessed his sins since he was a teenager.
