Inspector Hector Diaz's murder investigation takes him deep into the town's gringo expat colony, a modern Mexico corrupted by greed and drugs and the byways and dead-ends of love and lust. Recalling Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union in its dark humor, moody atmosphere and sense of place, A Death in Mexico is a gritty and gripping quest for revenge and redemption. "A Death in Mexico is a great and telling ride south of the border into madness and mayhem. I loved it."…mehr
