La Malinche is also known as Dona Marina, the native woman who aided Hernan Cortes in his conquest of Mexico.  I knew quite a bit about that history, and when I know something of the subject, I'm afraid that the author will mess it up.  I didn't have to worry.  Mr. Hepple knows his subject very well.Treasure is more than an historical novel.  Mr. Hepple blends present day Mexico with the past, as well as using a "Talk Radio" show to present other information from outside sources in a very entertaining way.I spent half my time sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my fingernails or holding my breath.  The other half was spent in fascination with the history and politics of Mexico or laughing at Linc's problems with women (Vol. 2).As I was getting toward the end, I thought I would take a break and read something else before reading Vol. 2.  No such luck.  It was not to be.  Vol. 1 ended with breath-taking cliffhanger and I immediately started reading Vol. 2I highly recommend this book.
