Denver, CO, March 10, 2007 --(PR.com)-- On 2/12/2007, Outskirts Press, Inc. published The Desert has no King: The Frankie Santos Story by Frederiko Aguilar, which is the author's most recent book to date. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Fiction/ Suspense category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble for a suggested retail price of $24.95.
It’s a story of a young man, Frankie Santos, living outside in a suburb of Los Angeles, Ca. This is the story of what all young gamblers dream of and few will experience and perhaps survive it. We follow Frankie Santos through his journey of wanting to reach the peak of power and ecstasy by becoming the mogul of the largest casino in Las Vegas, NV.
He started learning the games of poker and horse racing at the age of 10 years and became a gambler at the age of 12 where he shared his new devotion with his fellow class mates. He continued to live a life as a financial loser that was detrimental for a young adolescent, until his uncle, a former gambler and current race horse bookie, showed him a better way to make the real money by becoming the horse bettor sucker’s bank.
Being at the wrong place at the wrong time led Santos into many rugged adventures; a journey of big money, greed, drugs and powerful organized crime. We see the personality change that takes place in Frankie Santos because of what kind of life deals him on this road. He is compassionate and giving and most important, he believes in the sanctity of the family. By nature he is a protector of everyone that may be in harms way. From the age of innocence to manhood and the commencement of rise to power, Frankie Santos did not know what was in his destiny.
