Just Plain Trouble

by Alexander Ferrar

Johnny Yen is in way over his head. Following his true love—or at least, who he thought was his true love—to magical Antigua Guatemala, he walks right into a den of theives, con-artists and murderers. He doesn’t speak the language, doesn’t know a soul, and once his money disappears, he’s stuck there until the date on his return ticket. If he can live that long. Luckily, he has a few tricks up his sleeve, learnt during a dark past he’s trying to forget. Is this the moment the thirty-year-old boy finally becomes a man? Or another gringo in a shallow grave? A psychological thriller from the author of the Icarus trilogy, the Heresy series, The Prince of Foxes, Saga of the Beverage Men, Navarre, A Brothel on Hibiscus Lane, the art collection A Thousand Words, and the Variety is the Spice line of cookbooks from his acclaimed restaurant Sobremesa. Just Plain Trouble covers a wide range of contemporary hot topics such as polyamory, illegal immigration and the transgender phenomenon, as seen by Peter Pan's alcoholic brother.

About the author

After using his considerable wealth to stockpile arms and raise a private army, Alexander Ferrar led an exodus of coed college students into the Amazon rainforest. There his followers have established a sustainable farm/nudist colony and worship him a la Colonel Kurtz. He is scheduled to return after the inevitable collapse of western civilization, at which time he will seize power and usher in the first era of true world peace. In the meantime, he continues to write novels that are delivered to his publisher via drone--okay, no, he doesn't.

He lives in Antigua Guatemala where he owns a restaurant-art gallery and a very popular exotic ice cream shop, and he has a beautiful wife. His grass is plenty green.

He is also the author of twenty novels dealing with hot-topic issues such as illegal immigration, the refugee crisis, transphobia, gender issues, Pizzagate, polyamory, interracial relationships, the plight of gays in Muslim countries, and various reasons the world is going to Hell in a handbasket.
