As often happens to Chicanos, his role was given short shrift. But the Corral family has taken care of the skull for as long as Gus can remember. Its a jolt when Panchito is stolen from his sisters house. Its the only connection to the old-timers of the family, so Gus knows he will have to get to the bottom of the disappearance, even if it means tangling with thieves and thugs.A variety of characterswriters, attorneys, Vietnam vets, cops, soldierspopulate these stories in which situations frequently arent what they seem.
