GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK âĸ From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a simmering historical noir about a daydreaming secretary, a lonesome enforcer, and the mystery of the missing woman theyâre both desperate to find.
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, New York Public Library, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, BookPage, She Reads, Library Journal âĸ âAn adrenalized, darkly romantic journey.ââThe Washington Post
Mexico in the 1970s is a dangerous country, even for Maite, a secretary who spends her life seeking the romance found in cheap comic books and ignoring the activists protesting around the city. When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing womanâand journeying deeper into Leonoraâs secret life of student radicals and dissidents.Â
Mexico in the 1970s is a politically fraught land, even for Elvis, a goon with a passion for rock ânâ roll who knows more about kidney-smashing than intrigue. When Elvis is assigned to find Leonora, he begins a blood-soaked search for the womanâand his soul. Â
Swirling in parallel trajectories, Maite and Elvis attempt to discover the truth behind Leonoraâs disappearance, encountering hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies. Because Mexico in the 1970s is a noir, where life is cheap and the price of truth is high.
