About this ebook
Héctor Belascoarán Shayne es un hijo de la más vibrante ciudad de este planeta, la Ciudad de México, un monstruo urbano que está a caballo entre el primer y tercer mundo, donde la violencia política y social llama a la puerta con demasiada frecuencia, donde la corrupción y los abusos del poder se cruzan con los absurdos de la vida cotidiana, todo ello bajo la luz más maravillosa del mundo, a la que no le molesta la contaminación.Como detective independiente, en una sociedad donde la honestidad y la curiosidad se encuentran bajo sospecha, las historias en las que se involucra van desde la accidental persecución del enemigo público número 1, que claro está, es un jefe policiaco; hasta el enfrentamiento con un asesino de mujeres, pasando por la búsqueda del perdido pectoral de Moctezuma o de una conocida actriz de cine que desaparece en la frontera con Estados Unidos.Probablemente sea un desastre con un revólver en la mano, o sus conocimientos científicos no le permitan distinguir entre un licuado de plátano y una copa de arsénico, pero este hombre, que recorre una y otra vez la ciudad haciéndola suya, gana sus batallas a punta de tenacidad.

Héctor Belascoarán Shayne tells us that he decided to become a detective because he didn’t like the color his wife picked for the new carpet. He had been an engineer. He got his license by mail. He had never read a British mystery novel. He didn’t know a fingerprint from a finger sandwich. He could only shoot something if it didn’t move very much.
Héctor is a usually a taciturn, enigmatic man who is an unrepentant teetotaler with a penchant for Pepsis. He shares an office with three characters, a plumber, an upholsterer and a sewer engineer
One day a murdered man dressed as a roman soldier is found at his office and then he gets a mysterious message to ignore was he saw and along with the message there was a plane ticket to New York City. All Héctor really knew at this point was that he loved his home, Mexico City with a passion and if he waited the killer would show his face.
In this case the detective is correct and it appears that there is more than one killer and that they are from the police. Since this is Mexico, the question is whether they were from the secret police, the auxiliary police, the judicial police, the special, the bank, the preventative, the traffic, the federal?
Héctor uncovers links from these men to a very unsavory incident in Mexico City’s recent past. What it has to do with him appears to be serendipity but he is caught in a web he cannot escape. His life is on the line and he is very like a gunslinger of the old West shooting first and asking questions later.
This is a very intriguing character and the people in his life are also worth knowing. The prose is somewhat Hemingwayesque and I look forward to reading more of this writer.
