LOOT: a novel 

 It's 1975, and difference between what’s real and what’s fake is not so clear. Sara, a college drop-out mother of two, and Luis, her Mexican husband, house-sit in the high desert of Southern Colorado and scrape to pay the bills. At the chance to sell fake Pre-Columbian mortuary art—which sells for thousands at auctions—they take off for Mexico, but not before the fourteen old daughter and seven year old son run away from home. Once the  kids are found in Tucson, the pursuit intensifies until a reckoning In an ancient tomb changes everything.
