Summary

In 1991, The New York Times Book Review called Taibo's book, Shadow of a Shadow 'riotous....a wild and mel-ancholy tangle of life.' Now the four dis-parate friends and domino players at its center are back. But as the title says, they come 'returning as shadows,' twenty years older, to combat the Ger-man Fascists stealing into their country at the start of World War II. Readers meet a cast of vivid characters, including a one-armed poet and Ernest Hemingway, the latter magically transported to Mexico while sleeping off a hang-over. All of these are seen through the eyes of a gifted writer sharing with his readers an imagination very much his own.

Author Biography

Paco Ignacio Taibo II is a Mexican historian and writer, the author of numerous crime novels and historical works (two of which won the Planeta Prize for Literature), and the founder of Semana Negra, the annual international crime writers' congress in Spain. He lives in Mexico with his wife and daughter.
