About The Lord in the Cage
From your favorite "tell-it-like-it-is" storyteller Salustiano Berrios, whose novels have been praised for their lack of censorship, comes the thrilling debut novel about the hate a son has for his father, and the lengths he is willing to go to punish him for crimes of the past. The sins of the father place a heavy crown on the head of the child. Which is why years after a torturous upbringing beneath the thumb of Juan Rodriguez, his son, Santiago, seeks the ultimate revenge: his father's life. But not before putting the "Lord," as he liked being called, through a similar torment first. With a Mossberg shotgun, a bag full of horrors, and the titular cage, Juan is about to experience dark karma that will bring him to the very knife's edge of sanity. Meanwhile, Juan's other child from a second marriage, Victoria Dorsey, is taking her young son, Paul, to see his father, and perhaps fix their relationship which has grown strained in recent months. Calvin Dorsey, hooked on coke, is now on the hook with some bad dudes, two brothers named Duane and Shaka Woods, who badly want the cash owed to them, interest included. The only way out is for him to convince his wife to have his father-in-law foot the growing bill-but neither of them are aware of Juan's increasingly dire situation.
