What is El Dorado Shuffle about?

"In a freewheeling city in the Andes Mountains, the forces that contend for possession of an expatriate's soul are certain to do so in a bold, relentless and darkly-comic fashion. Nursing a drinking habit and a consuming guilt over his son's drug addiction, Mac McKnight - cool, ironic, ferociously moral in an off-kilter way - bolts from the winter rains of Vancouver and takes a job teaching high school in Esperanza. Perhaps here he will find peace, an El Dorado of the spirit. In the process, Mac arranges a coup, is seduced by the president's daughter, is almost eviscerated by that same president, flees into the Amazon rainforest, takes part in a doomed raid, is held captive in a brothel, is made a token bigwig in the Ministry of Strangers, and becomes an unwilling player in the cocaine trade. Bad things happen to Mac. But he never quite gives up. He fights back, always unwisely, always hilariously, finally to sink and almost drown in his own moral quicksand. And then he fights back one last time. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET
