Summary

With language that mixes violence and poetry, this crime novel tells the life of Mexican mobsters and drug dealers and their relationship with the outside world in the midst of an epidemic. The action takes place over the course of a single day, in which a much-desired woman, Thrice Blonde, meets The Rescuer, a man who embodies all fears and contradictions and whose words seem to heal everything. Themes of tragedy, liberation, family, sex, and death intertwine with social elements distinct to life south of the border in this intense story.

Con un lenguaje que mezcla la violencia y la poesía, esta novela negra narra la vida de los mafiosos y los narcos mexicanos y su relación con el mundo exterior en medio de una epidemia. La acción acontece durante una sola jornada, en la que una mujer deseada, La Tres Veces Rubia, se encuentra con El Alfaqueque, un hombre quien encarna todos los miedos y contradicciones y cuyas palabras parecen sanar todo. Los temas de la tragedia, la redención, la familia, el sexo y la muerte se entrelazan con elementos sociales distintos de la vida al sur de la frontera en esta historia intensa.
