Already battling to keep their little congregation afloat, two Mormon missionaries stationed in the dangerous Latin American area of Vila Barbosa believe the worst when Marco Aurelio, a guy they just lately baptized, disappears from a congested street market. Once the neighborhood's corrupt police force shows no interest, Elder Toronto and Elder Schwartz opt to check out Marco Aurelio's disappearance themselves. Breaking quest rule after quest rule, the elders doggedly pursue any clues that may lead them to their friend. Because they interview the folks who knew him - his short-tempered, bodybuilding brother; his gun-toting ex-wife; his mercurial ex - business partner - a tangled portrait emerges of the enigmatic con artist in over his head. At the sides of the research lurks a shadowy, mythical amount known only as the Argentine, a guy who poses an increasingly dire menace to the two young missionaries as they plunge recklessly frontward. Tim Wirkus' City of Brick and Shadow is a fantastically fun trip, recasting the typical buddy-cop active in a set of hapless young missionaries; a gripping and unconventional puzzle such as The Yiddish Policemen's Union or Motherless Brooklyn.
