Amazon.com description: Product Description: "Carnaval was the other side of fifteen thousand miles, thirteen frontiers, two or three war zones, two tropics, the equator, and the mighty Andes. All of it to get through. In about six weeks. In an old hearse. I did not anticipate the problems with this. . . . "
On a cold January night in New York City, Simon Mayle and his accomplice Lenny board a '73 Cadillac hearse and set off for Rio de Janeiro. While cruising through the sweltering underbelly of Latin America, they survive corrupt border guards, narco-gangsters, a Nicaraguan whorehouse, Bolivian TV, and several breakdowns--all this for a party?
