Saving The Fool (e-book) (used book) | Donna Del Oro | bookbook.eu

Description

If it looks too good to be true, there's probably a catch...

Summer is a time for teachers to relax, take time for themselves before the start of the new school year. But Dina Salazar, a Latina school teacher with an inquisitive mind, finds herself with a mystery on her hands, one that involves her brother-in-law, Jesus. Jesus is lovingly referred to as "el tonto", or the fool, by the family, and yet somehow this fool has latched on to a job that is not only lucrative, but ridiculously easy. Every Friday night, he drives a van filled with excited gamblers to a faraway casino. While they risk their money, he sits in a hotel room, eating and drinking at his employers' expense, then drives them back in the morning. All for a cool two thousand dollars! What is wrong with this picture?

As if this isn't bad enough, Dina's on-again, off-again relationship with fiancé Rick Ramos seems to revolve around his custody fight with his ex-the one he cheated on Dina with-for a little girl who isn't even his. Dina is torn between wanting to support Rick and not having maternal feelings for the difficult child. Enter private investigator Gil Luna, and all bets are off! Can they save Jesus from himself... and, if so, at what cost?
