In post-revolutionary Nicaragua, the Chief of Intelligence in the Office of Drug Investigations, Dolores Morales, takes a call from his counterpart, Deputy Inspector Dixon, who alerts him that a large luxury yacht is grounded and abandoned on the Caribbean coast. It appears to be a simple case of drug smuggling. But when Morales opens the scanty evidence package there's only a bloody T-shirt and a singed paperback book.until Doña Sofía, the office janitor, asks "Have that book's pages been checked over yet?" and a woman's business card falls out. Through a maze of deception, corruption, and murders, the irrepressible Doña Sofía joins the two inspectors as sidekick in their race to learn why the boat was ditched and where the bodies are buried. Soon, though, the trio suspect that a Cali drug cartel capo known as Pinocchio, along with Caupolicán, one of their Sandinista comrades from long ago, might be master minding a dangerous, international conspiracy. The Sky Weeps for Me offers a host of memorable characters drawn from every strata of Nicaraguan society - rich and poor, working class and professional, as well as scheming politicians, shady casino operators, and tent revivalists - all of them caught up in a relentless drama that bit by bit exposes what happens when revolutionary leaders turn into reactionaries, and how no one is entirely innocent in a country struggling to hold onto the last shreds of its ideals.
