Book Description
Three Santa Barbara sailors depart for Ensenada Mexico to take delivery of a forty-four foot sailboat named the Swan. But before they leave on their journey, one of them named Tom slips in the crosswalk of an intersection in front of the courthouse and is temporarily knocked out. When he comes to, a man with a black hat and a soft voice is leaning over him. It is none other than the Prince of Pop himself, Jeremy Princeton, who almost hit him while riding in his limousine. Concerned that Tom may be injured, Jeremy takes Tom to his estate Tierra Bella in Santa Ynez to see his physician. There, Tom is shown two masterpieces, a Renoir and a Rembrandt, which had been stolen from the Swedish National Museum and then mysteriously shipped to Jeremy in a box of musical instruments. Along with the stolen masterpieces, Jeremy also has in his possession a mystical sphere called the Black Piper which grants the owner great wealth and power at first but eventually becomes a curse.

Book Description
From the author of The Tribes of Palos Verdes, a compelling new novel about a couple's getaway to a Mexican paradise that goes horribly wrong. Joy Nicholson's second novel, The Road to Esmeralda, is a dark, seductive story about Americans abroad. Fed up with their L.A. lives, Nick and Sarah decide to head south to Mexico. They are looking for something: love, self-fulfillment, inspiration, or even just peace of mind. However, as the roads get windier and the jungle thicker, this naïve pair realizes that all of the trappings of society-greed, drugs, violence and jealousy-exist even in the remotest of places. Even tiny Esmeralda has a secret agenda . . . While her prose remains hearfelt and spare, Nicholson, in The Road to Esmeralda, also reveals a political edge. In exploring the prejudices of a small Mexican town, she weaves a harrowing and tragic story of love, devastation, and what it means to be a young, intelligent American in a very angry world.
