Bindle Punk Jefe is the second novel by Desideria Mesa. After the success of her first novel, Mesa continued her historical fantasy set in Prohibition-era Kansas City. Mesa’s tale is a suspenseful thriller mixing magic, Mexican folklore, bootlegging, and 1920s Jazz. Entwined in this tale are the stories of struggle that the immigrant community had to and continue to deal with. Written as an urban fantasy and continuing the themes of duality, Mesa focuses on the blurred line between the natural and supernatural, the real and mystical worlds. Each character is fully developed. Even though this is a sequel, Mesa’s book reads as an exciting stand-alone novel. Bindle Punk Jefe is a fast-paced, character-driven tale that is hard to put down.
