The House of the Scorpion Tapa blanda - 2004

Matteo AlacrÃñn was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El PatrÃćn, lord of a country called OpiumâÈ'a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. MattâÈçs first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monsterâÈ'except for El PatrÃćn. El PatrÃćn loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El PatrÃćnâÈçs power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the AlacrÃñn Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesnâÈçt even suspect.
