His latest job is to catch the one that got away...three times.
Filipino-American bounty hunter Domingo has made a career of catching
criminal undocumented immigrants. He's the best in the business--and it
isn't lost on him that he's so good because of his similarities to his
targets. Despite Domingo's claims that he is unsympathetic to their
plight, yet spends his spare moments on stakeouts and in between jobs
writing a book of advice for aspiring immigrants. Brash, funny, and
candid, he compiles the names of all the people he's apprehended,
documenting the hazards of his profession, and imparting advice to
foreigners who dare to dream of life in America.
Domingo's latest job is finding biracial Filipino woman Monica Reed--for
the third time. Monica is the only fugitive who has ever escaped him,
and the only one he's ever released, against orders. As he embarks on a
third and final hunt for her, Domingo uncovers a dangerous truth that
Monica was determined to publicize--even though it put her life in
danger. And as he chases her around the country, despite his agreement
to arrest people like Monica, Domingo finds himself taking her side.
Flushing out immigrants whose biggest crime was clinging to the American
Dream pales in comparison to getting justice for a woman who he
discovers was living in the shadows, but was only ever searching for the
truth.
Full of action and humor, MULTO is also a meditation on what it means to
be unwelcome and unwanted in a country you love and the sacrifices such
love requires.
