New York, una ciudad ideal para ejercer la profesión de detective privado, podría pensarse.
Aunque no parece ser el caso de Alejandrina Yolanda Jalisco, la inusual investigadora protagonista de Chicanos.
Mexicana en New York, poco agraciada, bajita, torpe… Una chicana que sufrirá los prejuicios y desprecios de que es capaz una sociedad discriminadora y vil.
Y mucho más aún, porque la arriesgada profesión que eligió la hará enfrentarse a todo tipo de peligros, y la cruzará con matones, mafiosos, funcionarios corruptos, violadores y asesinos, toda la oscura suciedad y perversión que se esconde tras los brillos de la gran ciudad.
Ay, Jalisco, ay.

Primera edición argentina completa. La tapa, lamentablemente, es una viñeta agrandada y no una ilustración original.

Por fin en edición integral y cuidada. Ya podría deshacerme del tomito viejo de Iron Eggs pero no sé dónde quedó.
