Paco Ignacio Taibo II
FICTION | 2012 | 224 pages
José Daniel Fierro, a fifty-something-year-old crime novelist, suddenly finds himself transformed into "Chief Fierro" of the Santa Ana municipal police, a northern town with a left-leaning city council besieged by the PRI's offensive. Will he be able to solve the murder of an American photographer with the same ease with which he writes a book? How did he get caught up in this madness? he wonders as he tries to shake off the police and the local bosses' gunmen.

“His history as a sort of literary Robin Hood who both pleases and infuriates has already made its mark. No novelist since Carlos Fuentes has described Mexico City with more power.”
