Sinopsis

Only a couple of days before the state visit of the President of the United States, Filiberto García -- an impeccably groomed "gun for hire," ex-Mexican revolutionary, and classic anti-hero -- is recruited by the Mexican police to discover how much truth there might be to KGB and FBI reports of a Chinese-Mongolian plot to assassinate the Soviet and American presidents during the unveiling of a statue.

García kills various bad guys as he searches for clues in the opium dens, curio shops, and Cantonese restaurants of Mexico City's Chinatown -- clues that appear to point not to Mongolia, but to Cuba. Yet as the bodies pile up, he begins to find traces of slimy political dealings: are local gears grinding away in these machinations of an "international incident"? Pulsating behind the smokescreen of this classic noir are fierce curses, a shockingly innocent affair, smoldering dialog, and unforgettable riffs about the meaning of life, the Mexican Revolution, women, and the best gun to use for close-range killing.

  • Memorias de Santiago Oxtilpan
    Bernal, Rafael
    Escribe G.K. Chesterton en Ortodoxia, que la mejor razón para ser progresista y no conservador es que las cosas, de natural, tienden a empeorar. Aunque me atrevería a asegurar que, en lo más íntimo de sí, Rafael Bernal comulgaría con la proposición de su maestro británico, Memorias de Santiago Oxtotilpan es una novela que parece contradecir, en lo que a México respecta, el aser...
