A writer in his fifties suddenly finds himself a the chief of
police in the town of Santa Ana, in northern Mexico, with a
leftist city hall suffering an offensive by the PRI. With a
masterful thread, as Taibo accostums us to, adorned with the
murder of a young woman and a town plagued by gunmen, the reality
of Mexico comes to the surface. Taibo is one of the most widely
respected mystery writers these days.
