DEATH BY CHURROS is a murder mystery novel that teaches you Spanish—entirely in Spanish. THE STORY It all begins on a quiet Friday afternoon, when Mr. Escobar, the head of a local mafia, stops by his favorite bakery for a sweet indulgence. But just an hour later, he's found dead—poisoned. The police waste no time arresting the bakery owner, Mr. García, accusing him of the crime. With the cartel out for revenge and the law closing in, Jesse, a high school student, is thrust into a desperate race against time to prove his father's innocence. Who framed Mr. García? Why would they do it? And most critically—can Jesse uncover the truth before Mr. Escobar's men exact their deadly vengeance?
