In this mystery thriller set at the end of World War II, American
Gar Stanley returns to his native Philippines to help his childhood
sweetheart locate her missing husband in the wake of a Japanese
ambush. With Clem's ring as his only clue, Gar moves from the
nightclubs of Manila to the mountains of Baguio, from mansions to
hovels, bordellos to churches. He pursues and is pursued by
bankers, matrons, hoboes, warriors, and thugs. Gar quickly realizes
that no one is who they seem in this war-ravaged country. He must
move quickly to stay ahead of the deadly conspirators before they
silence his friend.
Bulosan's purposely mysterious authorship is illuminated in the
thought-provoking introduction by Caroline S. Hau and Benedict
Anderson. The short story "The Filipino Houseboy," also included in
this volume, helps to establish Bulosan as the author of "All the
Conspirators. "
Carlos Bulosan, author of "America Is in the Heart," was a
passionate spokesperson for the more than 60,000 Filipinos who
migrated to the United States in the early decades of the twentieth
century; he died in Seattle in 1954.
