Rhapsody in a Circle is a post-colonialist literary thriller of love and war set against a backdrop of contemporary political intrigue in Mexico and Pakistan. Bolivar Collins, aka Segovia, who goes by several names, travels from Mexico to Pakistan to teach at a women's college, a diversion from his actual purpose, which is to use his unusual skill in service of a rogue CIA agent in league with a cartel boss to exchange drugs for arms with the Taliban. The cartel has forced Segovia to comply by holding his family hostage. In the face of human misery and depravity, is it possible for the human spirit to rise above its darkness through literature? Art? Based on actual events and tirelessly researched, Rhapsody in a Circle is a novel of our time.
