New York Times best-selling creator Philip Caputo explains to the story of the Franciscan priest attempting to walk a moral path through the shifting and fatal realities of any isolated Mexican village. The Mexican village of San Patricio is being menaced by way of a bizarre, cultish medicine cartel infamous for its brutality. As the townspeople try to protect themselves by building a vigilante group, the Mexican military and law enforcement have their own means of fighting back again. Into this volatile mix of forces for good and wicked (and sometimes both) steps an improbable broker for serenity: Timothy Riordan, an American missionary priest who must decide whether to betray his vows to avoid the unspeakable assault and help the folks he has pledged to protect. Riordan's fellow expatriate Lisette Moreno will serve the region in different ways, as a doctor who makes "house calls" to impoverished settlements, advocating modern drugs to a traditional society cautious with outsiders. To gain popularity, she must keep secret her rocky romance with designer Pamela Childress, whose troubled emotions lead Moreno to question their romance. Mutually, Lisette and Riordan tend to their community. But when Riordan oversteps the bounds of his position, his personal turmoil echoes the impossible options facing a country beset by instability and bloodshed. Based on real events, propelled by moral conflict, and cartoon by a keen and discerning sensibility, Some Go up by Sin demonstrates yet again Philip Caputo's nice and insightful products as a storyteller.
