The Sum of All Evils

Set on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula in on the eve of the MAyan apocalypse, The Sum of All Evils opens with a creatively grisly murder in an opulent all-inclusive hotel on the Mayan Riviera and then follows hero, Canadian RCMP officer Stephen Catherwood, as he, his Mexican partner, a German archaeologist, and an American diplomat, race a Category 5 hurricane to solve the murder. Their journey takes them from the bright lights of Cancún to the heart of the Yucatán rainforest where they confront an indigenous myth that threatens global environmental collapse and inexorable social decay. To avert the foretold cataclysm, Steven and the others must battle the politics of oil, a secret and deadly new weapon, a delusional guerrilla who thinks he is the reincarnation of the Mayan feathered-serpent god, and the elements themselves. "...a page-turning thriller disguised as a sobering climate change exposé, or a beautifully nuanced character study disguised as an intricate, international mystery. Either way, it gets under your skin." --film maker Daniel Yoon (Bluewater Films)
