At first, the sheer exuberant inventiveness of this remarkable Mexican debut may mystify some American crime-fiction fans. If those readers give it a chance, however, they may wonder why the authors they usually read are so risk-averse. Set in the made-up port city of Paracu谩n, on the Gulf of Mexico, the story starts in present time, with policeman Ram贸n 鈥淓l Macet贸n鈥?Cabrera assigned to the career- and life-endangering investigation of a journalist鈥檚 murder. Then the story leaps back in time to the 1970s and Vicente Rangel Gonz谩lez鈥檚 search for a serial killer who preys on young schoolgirls. El Macet贸n and Rangel are good cops struggling against a culture of shocking corruption, dogged by uneducated colleagues, crooked politicians, and scoop-hungry tabloid journalists. This view is vivid enough, but it鈥檚 Solares鈥?prose鈥攁lternately playful, poetic, and plainspoken鈥攖hat propels the pages. Some fantastic elements of Latin American fiction, such as dreams and ghosts, are present, but they won鈥檛 be dealbreakers for crime fans who don鈥檛 like magical realism. Supporting characters offer 鈥渢estimony,鈥?usually enhancing the plot, but in one hilarious instance taking a left turn, never to return. As the plot paths converge, we see how the tragic past becomes the tragic present: 鈥淎s happens everywhere, the city grew up around its tombs.鈥?Rarely has gross miscarriage of justice been so satisfying.
