He is about to fly to Barcelona on a scholarship when he's kidnapped in a bookshop and whisked away by thugs to a basement. The gangsters are threatening his cousin--a wannabe entrepreneur known to some as 'Projects' and to others as 'dickhead' - who is gagged and tied to a chair. The thugs say Juan Pablo must work for them. His mission? To make Laia, the daughter of a corrupt politician, fall in love with him. He accepts . . . though not before the crime boss has forced him at gunpoint into a discussion on the limits of humour in literature. 546 $a In English, translated from the Spanish. 650 0 $a Kidnapping $v Fiction. 650 0 $a College students $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gangsters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cousins $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of politicians $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexico $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Barcelona (Spain) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hahn, Daniel, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200804015404.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14270C06D61811EAA956BD2F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
