Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Both a scathing and picaresque comedy, a biting and spicy concoction. Just like tequila."-Le Monde

It's not easy being a cop in Mexico City. Meet Carlito, a police detective with a complicated life. A wife, a mistress, children by both. He resorts to money laundering and arms dealing to finance his police activity. The money for justice must be found somewhere.

The corpse in the hotel room is that of a gringo with a weakness for blue movies. Carlito's maverick investigation leads him into a labyrinth of gang wars and corrupt politicians.

Rolo Diez, born in Argentina, was imprisoned for two years during the military dictatorship. He now lives in Mexico City, where he works as a novelist and screenwriter.

Synopsis:

A savagely funny, sexy crime adventure that is a biting satire on life in Mexico City.

Synopsis:

Meet Carlos Hernandez, a police detective in Mexico City, as he carries out a maverick investigation into the death of a Gringo with a weakness for porn films.
