bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a simmering historical
noir about a daydreaming secretary, a lonesome enforcer, and the
mystery of the missing woman they’re both desperate to find.ONE OF

“An adrenalized, darkly romantic journey.”—The Washington
PostMexico 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 woman—and journeying deeper into
Leonora’s secret life of student radicals and
dissidents.Mexico in the 1970s is a politically fraught land,
even for Elvis, a goon with a passion for rock ’n’ roll who knows
more about kidney-smashing than intrigue. When Elvis is assigned to
find Leonora, he begins a blood-soaked search for the woman—and his
soul. Swirling in parallel trajectories, Maite and Elvis
attempt to discover the truth behind Leonora’s 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.
